Op, you used to be on the m35 forums correct? I recognize the name and the gg evo 9. I went from an evo to the m, looking to get back into an evo again! I had a chargespeed jdm rear on mine and fitment was great too

You guys mean to tell me these look COMPLETELY different? Aside from the bumper lights of course.

OP I think it looks great. I would work on the exhaust fitment though

OEM JDM has a functioning tow hook flap, no side markers, and is ABS plastic. and requires different mounting brackets, as well as a rear impact beam, and a license plate bracket

let's put it this way, if you had both cars photographed from the side (camera pointed at the rear wheels) I can guarantee you that you would see a noticeable difference. It's obvious the JDM rear fits closer to the car because of the crash beam modification/removal necessary to mount it.

I guess the reason I'm even mentioning this is because of the price. to the OP, what did it end up costing you from start to finish to have the rear bumper on the car ready for pictures? I know you can get them for $900 shipped from a website on here... why not just spend a little more for OEM quality
