It is very easy to put on, I put mine in 2 hours with sanding, a little cutting and drilling. Basically you want to transfer the holes on to the new bumper. Locate the screws on the old bumper and make new ones on the new bumper. There should be two screws on top and one on each end. I would recommend using washers (Stainless steal, or galvanized) on top, between and underneath the bumper to give it a less chance of cracking while installing.

The bumper will look crappy with the mesh that they supply with the bumpers, I honestly like no mesh at all. Your bumper looks really good when you paint the lower part lip black, it looks bad in a solid color unless you go white.

I took some quick pictures and measure the holes for you to give you a better idea where they SHOULD be located. REMEMBER MEASURE TWICE, CHECK IF IT LINES UP, DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING AGAIN & DRILL CAREFULLY.


And little teaser of my bumper being cut and chopped. I am in the middle of putting a custom lip on it (Brown color). With the springs that I will be installing a few months from now, the Evo4 bumper would not have no clearance at all. I just put some hardener on back of the bumper to make it more stiff, because when I cut the lower end, it lost most of its strength. Will give some more pictures when it is done:P

thanks for the kind words and advice! (i was really expecting a few flame jobs and nay sayers)

unfortuneately it appears either mine is defective or something, there is not enough lip on the tabs under the front edge of the fender to drill out for the bolt, its about half a hole there now.

im taking it to a body shop tomorrow, if he cant do anything with it ill have to call the place and send it back. he should be able to do something...hes had a dozen or so custom rides in magazines...wish me luck

ill have to look creeps up, i found a set at a/z i like but we will see, im really surprised no one noticed (or at least mentioned) the brembos... i got the rental till friday so by monday i gotta have it back together or ill be stuck like chuck...lol

and so far as paint...only a few know what color is going on there, and from what i can tell the color should look realy nice

Incase if it does work, remember to put a toyota emble on as it looks much like an accord already.

I remember my friend telling me that it is very hard to repair and fix fiberglass. And if the body shop will add more fiberglass and glue, it will not be very strong. Therefore, it will crack very easily and give you a headache in the long run. I would call the company for a replacement, Hopefully they will exchange it with you not left stuck with shipping it back and forth. Many companies that I talk to will give you a hard time, giving the purchaser a warning to write "damage" when you received it. Well good luck!
