ya it expensive to get it up to Canada
ya I was gonna see if anyone had it locally
so I could do one picked up lol

ya may just drive without the bumper
it has a rebar

 

Well like i said, have Driveline ship it Directly to the shop you plan on having your work done at while you are down here. I am sure they will accomodate you since they will get some $ on the install.

 

They are no longer prepainted to the best of my knowledge unless Driveline Motoring has a supply of them or is getting it done prior to shipping. Just FYI.

200 or so for a corner balance and alignment is cheap actually. Most generic alignment places charge 90 for just the alignment. If you are going to have it shipped to a business address in the states make sure your dealing with a company that understands you need it shipped to something other than the billing address. It is common practice in this age of electronic theft to not ship to a differing address.

Driveline brings in factory painted ones and keeps them in stock. When I ordered mine I had it shipped to my work address to take advantage of the cheaper shipping rate.

 

If this is in reference to the JDM Evolution IX Rear Bumpers, they ALL come pre-painted by Mitsubishi Motors of Japan. Even with the JDM 7/8 Bumpers, they all come pre-painted. We've never been able to order them in any other way. We keep the original part number stamps on the packaging to show the customers (whi do a little research) that these are ordered via paint code.

 

here ill let you borrow my company's f150.

 

It's got a curbed front wheel tho, we saw that lapse in driving skill in the movie!

 

Well if you do decide to drive down without the US bumper on, make sure you bring the metal mounting bracket (the metal lining on the top that is rivetted to the bumper) with you. You have to drill out the rivets. It has the wiring harness and license plate connection point with it. You need it to attach the JDM rear. Also take off the crash bar and leave it at home, it wont fit under the JDM rear without pretty substantial modification.

Personally, I am happy I got the Demonwerkz Crashbar (also available from Driveline). It makes it installation a bit smoother since you then don't have to modify the old license plate point. Since the JDM rear doesnt have turn signals, I just used to two side brackets (the metal lining breaks down into 3 parts). That way I do not have 'extra' wiring dangling around back there. The only downside to this method is no rear light for the license plate, which I am fine with.

If you want/need a hand installing it while you are in Seattle just let me know.

 

^ you dont have a license plate light?

 

No, when I switched over to the JDM rear I decided i didnt want to run all the wiring that was in the US bumper just for a license plate light. If I ever decide I need one there are more efficient ways. Like LEDs.

 

^ well, I suppose when you get your first ticket for not having one they can throw in two "free" tickets for each side marker you dont have at the same time!

 

Ow I am sorry officer the bulb must be burnt out.

Besides I am a white male in my 30s. I am all but ticket proof.

 

all gets negated by the fact you're driving an Evo...

Loud + low + high wing > White + male + 30's = ticket!

 

Turn off car + wingless + be polite = no ticket

 

Hairy woman cop shows up and gives ticket anyways for just being white and driving a kids car
