Your probably going to have to cut the ---- out of your bumper and bumper support . Have fun i just really hate having to cut the front end of a car.

exactly. I use to have the six inch jrc and I had to hack up the bottom of my bumper support. I can only imagine how to fit an 8 inch. I just test fit my new 5in jrc and its going to fit with room to spare

This is why I went with the 5" as well...

If I were you, I would not completely remove the bumper support, just cut as little out as you have to in order to mount it high enough...

Without a bumper support even a little fender bender will ---- your ---- up...
