Jdm Rear Bumper

I searched alot of posts but could not find the answer to my question.

I finished the installation of my JDM EVO 9 bumper, is there a plate or carbon fiber plate that covers that big hole behind the license plate?

because the license plate does not cover the hole 100%.

what did other guys do?

most of the pics I see in show and shine you still see that ugly gap.

thank you

they got those long euro plates that cover the whole spot, for us the best solution is to just cover it with a license plate frame... you can barely see the hole tho, so in my case i havent gotten anything to cover it...

dont you guys see it as something not finished, i am really suprised there isnt a company that makes a cover for it, the license plate bracket just misses covering the whole thing.

I have to agree...I just finished installing my JDM and the only blemish is that gaping hole...frame helps a bit but that's not the solution I prefer. I sent a message off to Carbign Craft to see if they are fabricating anything like this. Standing by...

Take a look in the Evo Exterior/Interior for-sale thread. There are several vendors selling them. Will cost around $550-$600 shipped.
