it better to buy JDM reforcement bar.. USDM reforcement bar dont fit JDM rear bumper and had to remove USDM one.. had to order JDM reforcement bar..
i would reccomond it! so u wont get Rear end nasty or totaled.. or insurance find out missed US law safety missed (air bags, Reforcement bar, etc) they wont cover for repairs.

 

Pretty sure that since the JDM bar isn't OEM equipment they still won't cover the repairs anyway, but maybe someone with that has been in this situation can speak up.

 

no JDM had OEM mitsubishi. and it come with Tag or sticker on it with parts number. Trust me codgi.. I work automotive collision..

if u have mods or jdm replacement oem parts as long it OEM.. or aftermarkets.. make sure u get Appraised to know it so next time when u had addicent so they wont put oem parts.. get brand new parts same as ur mods or aftermarket parts or OEM from Japan or other country

 

I heard there is no JDM crash bar, and the usdm crash bar is only good for 5mph.

 

lol. ryan no... reformcent is design to pervet more damage to Trunk area, sheet metal or rear quarter or stuff. Reformcent is easy to replacment

yes there have JDM reforcement bar.. ill find u a link

JDM REAR BAR.

 

I've seen that a long time ago. That thing won't stop a shopping cart. USDM has a crash beam and the JDM has a renforcement bar. It cost like 30 or 40 bucks. Anything 30 to 40 bucks doesn't go a long way in OEM terms

 

as least better than Damage more..

 

That is a support brace not a crash beam.

I found amber side markers saying OEM, did "JDM" Evo's come with amber side markers? Might look better with the "JDM" MR heads/tails.

 

Ok let me rephrase that for you then. The JDM bar did not come stock on the USDM car, or it wouldn't be JDM now would it? It more than likely did not pass whatever tests Mitsubishi had to do to get the car to come into this country (not saying that it couldn't have but it obviously either wasn't tested or it failed testing outright since it's not on the USDM car today) and thus if the insurance company really wants to ream you about it there is probably nothing you can do about it (since you went and switched out a part that passed the tests with one that possibly did not).

I haven't searched on the forum for it...but has anyone seen anyone with this setup get rear ended and have any issues from the insurance?

 

I have it on my car, the amber side markers. I'll post some pics if I'm not too lazy

 

Side markers or indicators?

Edit gah stupid terminology.

 

well the ones on the front fender

 

Yeah I mis-read I thought you guys were talking about the ones on the rear bumper.
