installed a oem jdm rear (pics inside)

I recently picked up a brand new OEM JDM rear for me weightless white evo 8 someone was selling on craigslist for a good price I couldnt pass lol knowing how hard these bumpers are to get. My only concerns were the color difference between wicked white(JDM bumper) and my car color (Weightless white), planning to painting the bumper honestly after installing it the color difference really isnt that noticable that I thought it was going to be. Install was very time consuming( I did it all by myself, and had no clue really how to do it except for the write-ups I seen) but it honestly isnt that hard just takes time. Let me know what you guys think hope this helps for all you guys contemplateing how a jdm wicked white looks on your evo 8 bc I was in this position lol. It realllly changed the look of the car, I been getiing alot of compliments on it

Before




After

God these rear ends should have come standard with all evolutions. Its hard to tell from pics as far as the color match. Did you have any issues with your exhaust rubbing?

Looks Good!

Yes I will post more later on tonight, these are just to get a idea it really isnt bad at all. Yes my exhaust was rubbing the left of the diffuser but took it to the muffler shop the next day and for $40 it fits 100% perfect.

Yes I just removed it, I may modify it later on and put it back but honestly from what people are saying it really isnt worth it as its only good for less then 20mph impacts

this is not a far comparison ... with usdm bumper u have the big wing on it .. with the jdm bumper there is no wing ... i personally like the us bumper better when big wing is off ... good score though if you got it for a good price ... lets see color differences ...
