You are all over the place. If you truly have some kickass body shop that you aren't worried about, as your posts on the 1st page indicate, why would you need to do any leg work? If they are that good then they will know everything they need to know.
IMO, save some money and get the knockoff if your body shop is truly not a concern. If you have doubts on fitment/paint, JDM is the way to go.

I would rather get the JDM rear than waste my money on the replica. I seen how much of a hasle they are and would not want to have to deal with that, but that is just my opinion.
for your dad!

Oem= perfect paint!
Oem paint is terrible.
I think mitsu and toyota use the same crap, cause the paint is just that...CRAP!
I will go with the bayson r jdm rear. Ill throw in a little bit of work and save myself $400.
I am a painter and will paint myself, so I guess I save more money than most with the paint part.

I owned Honda's and I nevr bought knock off **** for it. I had authentic JDM and high dollar US parts on it. I know people with high end luxury cars that can't afford the real deal parts that are expensive for various reasons so the put knock off stuff on their cars. Hell I would've bought Volk TE-37's instead of Rota Grids except for 1) I wanted my car to go fast and look a little better then OEm and 2) Volk doesn't make the offset I wanted (+22 instead of +20)
The reason why people pay for the JDM rear (myself included) is because it comes prepainted and doesn't require a blend from the body shop (unless your cars paint is screwed up from age, wear and tear or you didn't take care of it). Fits like OEM (because it is) and it doesn't hurt that its JDm if that your thing.
Good reasons to get the Ebay/Bayson part. You have a BBY EVO VIII or the original white color for the EVO VIII (I forget the name of it) or you are changing the color of your car completely.
You may save a few hundred going ebay but not 400....esp if your body man needs to modify the bumper to fit. I got my JDM rear for 650 shipped. You may be able to find one cheaper if scour the part out sections or if the US dollar miraculously recovers and starts doing way better then the Yen.

I have a bby and i STILL bought OEM one and repainted it. my jdm rear cost 500 Shipped. BRAND NEW UNOPENED. There are tons of deals in the for sale section you just have to look and comb though that **** like i do everyday to find what i am looking for

going cheap on major body parts is always a bad thing. My friend bough a backyard special replica for $300 after paint it was about $400 and the fitment was horrible. Now he has a $400 shop ornament.
