Just save up for the real one that way there are no issues + you have an OEM part on your car. My .02 cents

I think that for $485.00 its not that much cheaper than the orginal which sells from around 599 and upwards to like 650. But you'd still need to remove or replace the rear crash bar. And, you'd need to get it painted whereas the original will come pre painted. Like any frp or fiberglass aftermarket body kit, a good body shop will get anything to fit. There's more money to spend. So here's the breakdown, assuming you aren't doing any of the work yourself.

With the Ebay bumper you have to pay $485.00 fot the bumper, then pay the body shopt to trim and prefit the bumper perfectly, then paint it, then modify the crash beam and re-attach it, then pay for the final install.

With JDM original you pay $500.00 - $650 for the pre painted bumper, pay for the crash beam mod and reattachment, then pay for the final install. So no pre-fitting and modifying of the bumper to make it perfect, and no painting with the original.

well, if i were to do it, i would install it myself. not too much work. just body parts.

Are you going to paint it too? If so then you might save some money. It looks just like the JDM original piece to me.

dont go cheap and get an ebay one. just get one that you know is gonna fit perfect since it is OEM and it comes prepainted. All you will have to do is get the crash beam modified. After everything you will have to do with the ebay one, it will probably be cheaper for the OEM one. Thats just my opinion

hey you know what E\/0IXG$R, you should reread my posts. i was never going to buy this rear. just wondering if anyone has it. like i said, it will be interesting to see who runs with without any kind of problems. maybe u werent directing this at me, but oh well. so please guys, post if u run this. and post some pics. bumper doesn't look too bad.

but then again, it could be like those o2 housing copies of o2 housing copies! aha

i am looking for a good condition evo8 RR bumper though since i backed mine up into a pole...dont ask y. aha

no dude it wasn't directed at you... i was just kidding. Sorry if I offended anyone... I just think its funny that some people do that. I just wonder why some people would take a VIII which is already a beast in its own right and then turn it into a fake something else. Its like putting MR badges on a non MR Evo... Why? Back on topic though, like I said, I think the Ebay bumper that you are talking about looks just as good as the real JDM bumper.

hmmm...cool. anyone has this piece on their car yet? well i just really want to see pictures...but at the same time i just dont see spending that amount of money for an unpainted bumper when u can add $150 and get a painted one.

I saw another JDM copy but it had a carbon fiber diffuser.... What do you think of this?

If you can get a body shop to properly fit it, this would be a better "knock off" at only $290.00
