Its a pretty easy mod, as long as your not on a uphill slope. All I did was unscrew the white plastic pieces on each side, and screwed the bottom hole to the top. I didn't even touch the middle of the bumper. That tiny sag makes it look more natural.

 

im pretty sure those are flat black painted G35 wheels...

 

g35 oem 2003-2004

 

anyone heat the bumper? i tried pushing on it. seems like its gonna crack or something

 

Heat it up along the crease line with a heat gun or blow dryer. If you don't, you stand a good chance of cracking the paint.

 

Has anyone done this with an EvoTT?

 

DJ smitty (derek) had his rolled from when he had a single and kept it that way when he had his evo TT. looked nice.

 

No. I didn't use any heat. It won't crack so long as you do it slowly. Also, I just recently took out the screws and bought some black plastic bumper connectors from Kragen.



I had to dremel the holes a bit bigger, but these work PERFECTLY! They're flush, rust proof, they won't slip over time like a screw may, and are easy to install/remove. I have four of them holding the bumper up now.

 

Do you guys like the way the hks shows with this mod? I think it looks better to show off under her skirt a little more, but not sure if my hks will look better or worse. Any advice?

 

dude its on the first page.... look at post 13, its on the white Z. (3rd picture)

 

i think it looks super sexy. Also looks bad *** with aftermarket sways and gt spec brace.

 

Ahhh, must have missed it, thanks

 

someone should make diy for this so I can get some visuals :-D

 

no problem man, that exhaust sounds amazing in my opinion. My buddy has that exhaust.

 

Im pretty sure their is... I found it on here once and thats how i did mine. Just go out in your garage and look at it... its REALLY easy. Takes like two minutes.

 

i know right?

anyone got any pics under the car where u used those screws?

kinda lost to what the bumpers holding on to

 

Easy mod took 15 minutes, you just tuck the bumper cover to the aluminum crush panel or whatever you call it. Heres another pic of mine, i did it earlier today.

Tools req:

offset or really long phillips screwdriver
drill w/small bit(s) to make pilot holes with
4 self tapping screws
ratchet 3/8 w/extension 11mm socket
safety glasses


Here are the instructions I used.


1) Use a floor jack with a towel/rag on top and lift the middle "flap" until it's pressed against the bottom of the aluminum bar

2) Get a drill w/ small bit and drill holes (anywhere you want) upwards from the flap through the bar

3) Put self-tapping screw through holes

4) It's free, minus the cost of screws and electricity for drill/Dremel

*It's ugly with OEM. The OEM exhaust is big and flat black.

the aluminum bar you're talking about, is that the same bar that is behind the front bumper of the car, just in the rear that you are screwing into?

350, did you roll the car up on that wood, then use a floor jack to prop the rear bumper up into position? Then you just drilled thru the bumper into the aluminum bar and said wallah?

 

That is a awesome mod..count me in for doing it in the near future

Evo

 

also as an alternative to self tapping screws, you can use zip ties. That's what I used and it worked out perfect.
