lets just say that if i get rear ended its not going to be pretty lol

need to take out the rear tail lights

stock beam removed

jdm vs. stock beam

actual jdm beam weight...4.5lbs!!!

Overall install wasnt to bad. You cant take the bumper cover off while its on the car, you need to take the whole cover/beam off at the same time then you can take the cover off.

The jdm beam is nothing more than a bracket for the cover to snap onto to hold it in place...no crash protection whatsoever.

Springs? Shocks? Maybe a BBK?

I want to say Coilovers. I guess it could be coilovers. That's something that could weigh 66 lbs. Took me and another guy to comfortable move the box that contained my coilovers.
