is the exhaust port in the same spot as the OEM? I have a Megan CB and cant find anyone at all who has a megan CB and JDM bumper... and I've checked the JDM exhaust thread..

Where would I run into problems mounting the CB with the JDM thats different from the OEM?

Save your money and install it yourself. It's really easy and takes less than an hour.

The exhaust port is the same location, just shorter.

a little shorter some exhausts will stick out you may entertain the idea of a heatshield as well if it sticks out.

yeah save your money and do it your self. just get a rivet gun, electric drill, extension chord and your all set. Follow the instruction on the How To thread to remove the rear bumper. probably the only thing that will give you a hard time is the plate frame modification, coz it's gonna stick out tru the JDM's.

Good luck on the install!

to take out the crash beam is the easyest things to do.Only 8 screw. BUT to install a JDM bumper is not easy and need some modifications, if you want to do it a proper way. But if you have room, patient and tools , you can do it.

DIY, that way you can sand down an paint the holes where the crash attaches (rusty)
and fiddling with the new license plate position is the trickiest part
didn't have any problems drilling out the old rivets, just fast speed till the top cracks off, don't go thru the whole thing
