Jdm 9 bumper?

Guys I need opinions now. The local shop has a TB 9 SE that has a JDM 9 bumper. He is willing to trade for my stock bumper and 300 cash on top. Plus he is going to put the bumper on for me. Think it's worth it? BTW he is gonna sell the 9 so he wants it stock.

lol well yes considering there 699+shipping plus wait time plus installation cost if you pay a shop you make out pretty good. So i would do it no wait time no installation cost just 300 and a rear bumper your gonna have to find something to do with. I just got my ati full body kit and my jdm rear bumper comes in also tonight or tomorrow. so im gonna have 2 rear bumpers with nothing to do with them but put them in storage or hope to sell them. the cwest rear(replica) and oem rear. im gonna install the jdm and paint it bby. so i think your deal is great and no paint cost do it deal is great

just thought of something....
cuz i have the jdm ix bumper.
Is he gonna take your rear bumper brace because i know of some people that run with the jdm bumper with no brace which is dumb but people do it. So make sure your bumper brace stays with you..because they can be modified to fit the jdm bumper. Just a thought if he wasnt using the bumper brace and was trying to find a way to get one back by offering you this deal. But if he isnt doing that, then i would say its a decent deal.

JDMAUTOBOUTIQUE.COM $580 shipped as of today. They are having a free shipping sale right now which is great because that's the big reason these bumpers are so expensive. Usually shipping is anywhere from 100 to 150.
