you can modify your existing bar, or have one made that will work if you really want to retain the 5mph crash bar.

True, I suppose you're right. BTW, your sig cracks me up everytime I see it (1000cc being faster than your mom on a saturday night).

Ok, so I didnt need the crash beam. Still woulda had to pay for paint which I was quoted anywhere for $350-$475.

This might be blasphemy, but did you try looking through craigslist? I've seen some ads for backyard paint jobs on the weekends by body work guys trying to make extra cash on weekends.

Naw, I didn't bother of thinking to do that. Who knows how good the job is? Maybe if I thought about doing that beforehand, I may have done it.

Oh well, diffuser will be on tonight.

Dude you have an Evo! Get the JDM bumper and stop going with fake alternatives. If you're broke save a little cash and that's it. If you get a fake bumper your Evo will look like your avatar.

LOL, bite me!

Well, here it is (forgive the crappy pics). Install was pretty easy (even alone) and fitment is actually pretty good (besides near the exhaust cutout as pictured).

Diffuser, side spats, and license plate backing all went on today...





Before...



After...





The only place where I had a real fitment issue (notice right side sits higher than left):





Overall, pretty nice. I dig it. Im done with CF from here on out. Anymore will be overkill.

not even the exhaust shield? Wouldn't that cover up how the right side is higher? I assume you can get the shield to work with this? Looks pretty good, and still want to see in person.
