im sure this has been asked many times but im gonna ask it again . JDM Rear Bumper or APR Rear Diffuser? Whether it be for the VIII or IX...whacha guys think? and for those that already have either, any comments..ups/downs and what exhaust do they fit/clear! thanks guys

 

I like the jdm 9 bumper much more.

 

jdm bumper will show your exhaust aLOT more, ask yourself if you want that

 

JDM rear looks great but non-functional. APR rear diffuser, not as pretty as JDM rear, but works. I personally have the JDM rear since I don't drive fast all the time to take advantage of the rear diffuser's benefits. Plus, I like showing off my exhauset.

 

im still stuck on either but i dont like the idea of removing the rear crash bar to fit the JDM bumpers..i know its there to meet dot's mph rule but i dont really wanto to comprimise safety especially since this is my daily driver...and true most of us wont be driving that fast where a functional rear diffuser w/be useful...lol...and from what ive seen and heard the JDM color is alittle off, for those of us w/White Evo's....but still debating!!!!

 

same thing as me man....i dont wanna take the crash beam off, so im going with the diffuser, plus with a front lip, it makes for a sexy combination

 

haha....great minds think alike!

 

plus, the APR rear diffuser has a carbon fiber option that would look sweet! wow, i didn't realize installing the JDM bumper required removing some safety features... is the color really off? this would be bad for silver...

 

white is the only color you have to worry about with going to the JDM bumper.

since you wouldn't have to repaint the bumer, you should add the Voltex diffuser
