I wanted to make the EVO Rear Fascia work with my existing AEV tire carrier, and it turns out it's possible to do without doing any real fabricating, just some cutting and drilling. To start I took the stock bumper and AEV tire carrier off and measured where to cut the fascia. I used a jigsaw with a hacksaw blade to cut a notch for the tire carrier bracket to fit on the frame.

Then I measured and cut the frame rail ends to fit the EVO D-Ring mounts.

I left half of the passenger side frame rail the stock length since that's what the AEV carrier bracket requires. After that I touched up the frame and pinch seam in the back with some black paint.

Then I installed the driver side D-Ring mount and EVO fascia.

On the passenger side, since I had removed two of the mounting points for the fascia, I added a bolt to hold the fascia to the frame and prevent rattling.

I matched the holes in the AEV carrier to the EVO D-Ring mount since they were originally a bit off, and I painted the AEV carrier bracket with a textured black to match the fascia.

Then I installed the carrier bracket with the fascia onto the frame.

I did have to install the bolt for the carrier bracket backwards so it came out through the frame with the nut outside the frame.

Finally I put the tire carrier back on.
