Ok so just bought the kit and i am supposed to be able to keep the rear re-bar but it isnt fitting its like still 2 inchs out, how can i fix this problem whats recommended if anybody else has this kit what did you do?

 

the rebar doesnt stay on the evo8 kit

 

good luck, hope it works out for you, post pics when its done.

 

wait wait wait.... before you go cutting off ur Rebar. Listen here.

On the Rebar there should be a metal piece that is welded in 8 places or so and it has 90 degree bends in it. cut that piece off, then this is the kinda tricky part. see the liecense plate area. it needs to be pushed back so it fits correctly. this is hard to explain with text. but if you take some pics of the bumper and of the rebar i will edit them tonite after work and explain it in detail so its not toooo confusing. you can keep your rebar i believe. just needs a little adjusting.

 

ok are you talking about those 2 little bars on the outside of the re-bar in the middle? the car is in the shop so i cant get to it today but i drew a picture of what i think your talking about



ok yea ****ty image but if i am not mistaken i am thinking your means those areas i colored in red they look like extra little support braces and there is 2 of em. alos my car is a 2004 so the license plate is on the trunk not the rear bumper its the evo 8 kit

 

thats what im talkin about. i cut that off and then had to modify the liecense plate area a little bit. i also used the the bottom 2 holes to hold my plate on and it works great.

 

ok right on thanks alot ! i kind of figured thats how but i didnt want to do it then it still not fit

 

not a problem.

 

its come to the point i am ready to take the kit back its costing way too much and my body shop doesnt even want to do it because the fit is such TOTAL **** thanks Accolade!!!
