Any have fitment issues with eBay JDM rears?

They seem to be the most affordable even though I know they may not be real JDM. Anyone have any fitment issues with them?

i can garuntee it will need to be professionally installed and fitted...as well as alot of bodywork to gat all the imperfections out of the bumper..... honestly... by the time its prepped, body work done, painted (2-tone mind you, which costs more) and installed.. you could have bought a real jdm for nearly the same price....just my .2

im only chiming in becuase i have purchased several full bodykits in the past for other cars, and that was the deal everytime i did..so ive been there

actually his text is quite ambiguious, but I'm inclined to say bumper because tail lights usually don't have majoe fitment problems compared to bumpers

+1. When you install it and it fits like crap, you'll regret not spending the extra few hundred for a real JDM bumper.

For the record I was talking about the bumper, sorry for not being clear and thanks for the feedback. JDM it is. When I have the money of course.

I see your point in the matter, but in the end everyone decides what to spend their money on.

If companies have spent enough money in research and develoment in a product, that product usually gets a patent........................
