Aside from the weight difference and aluminium, is there any other differences between USDM/JDM rear crash beams? My rear crash beam was damaged when I got rear ended and I'm debating on getting a new one.

Oh, and that's a smexy exhaust you have there. It looks mighty familiar...

As far as the exhaust, don't you just love it?!?!
