Cheapest Place to get JDM 9 Bumper???
The replicas are so cheap because they have fitment issues and come unpainted. What you save on the initial purchase of the knock-off part, you will pay for in the form of work that a body shop needs to do in order to get it on your car correctly. It actually could turn out to be even more expensive than purchasing the OEM JDM rear bumper in the first place.

Can someone explain the license plate bracket issue?
The crash bar issue I understand. I will have a body shop just cut off the spacers between the feet and have it re-welded to the crash beam.

I have searched for this but have been unable to find it. Have a link?
So far, driveline sounds pretty good!
Burklow, you don't need an aftermarket exhaust to put this bumper on. If you go to the show and shine section and look at one of the stickies about which exhaust looks best with the jdm bumper you will see someone with the stock exhaust. It looks just fine to me.

Happy to hear it.

The price difference between the usdm replica of the jdm bumper from j's aero and the bumper from driveline is like less than 160 bucks. Well the color I need has to be repainted anyway since I have a bby. I'm prolly leaning toward the bumper from driveline just for peace of mind.

I purchased my JDM rear from SPEED ELEMENT. Very fast shipping, tracking, and communication. Product was perfect.
I was able to reuse the shipping material to sell and ship my US spec bumper.
