I have the Evo X nose clip, but I was wondering for everyone who installed it, if it is a must to actually cut the two holes in the bumper in order to install it. Since my car is black, i was wondering if i should put it straight on? I have a few other parts and the body shops im taking it dont really know how to install it, and dont really advise cutting the bumper. I myself dont really want to cut the bumper (as im on a lease), ill most likely be keeping this car, but i might want the option of even upgrading in a few years so I may not really want to cut the bumper because of this as theres a chance of me returning the car. Any help would be great

 

If it is the one that Ricoo sells for proper fitment you have to cut your bumper. And if you are on a lease why are you making any modifications to the car? If you modify the vehicle in any way you are breaking the terms of the lease agreement in most states. Before you do anything ide suggest you check with your dealer.

 

Those are pretty big vents on the evo x nose, it would look AWFUL if you install it without cutting the bumper, you may as well get rid of it because there's no way around it if you want it to look right.

 

true..its not gonna work id get rid of it..and if you do end up getting it on its gonna look like a lancer with downsyndrome

 

yes you need to cut the holes to match. no other way around it. i did mine and i think it looks ***** to the wall!!

 

Can people who have installed this post some pics.. not sure if i would want to cut my bumper up

 

i have a pic of mine up in lancer show and shine under 05 goodies

 

you are screwed on your lease if you don't buy the rest of the car out. I really dont think they will take well to you cutting holes in the bumper.
