Hi guys!
I'm looking for an evo 9 MR JDM rear bumper but I can't decide what to buy. I can get the urethane replica for about 550 and the OEM factory prepainted for about 900.

Does the OEM worth the 900 ?
Is there a big difference between both bumper?
Any complains with the replica?

Share your experinces...

 

Does the replica come pre painted? Personally, I would stick with an oem part that you know is gonna fit perfect. Not to mention its already painted by mitsu.

 

OEMs comes factory pre-painted.

 

I love OEM parts. That would be my pick. Do it once - do it right.

 

oem is going to be a perfect fit

aftermarket you are taking your chances and most likely will need to be painted offsetting the cost anyway

 

I switched from the OEM to the JDM and wished I had done it earlier! The JDM came pre-painted

 

900? Don't these go for just under 700$ shipped? OEM JDM?

$750 last I heard.
Being painted by Mitsu is NOT a bonus. I would much rather paint it myself, but I'm a painter so it's not a big deal for me.

I'm looking for an OEM JDM bumper now with some minor scratches, any color.

 

Jdm are as I got a quote 749 shipped and already painted. Ebay you can get them nonpainted for 400 or less shipped. I was considering buying a aftermarket evo 9 front bumper. I saw one at the shoot out, I complimented a guy on his perfect evo 8 with a evo9 front bumper. I said that I was considering doing a aftermarket look a like evo 9 front bumper. I asked if he found a good deal on a oem one. He laughed and said that his was a aftermarket evo 9 front bumper. He said it was much cheaper and is holding up perfect. My two cents. On ebay I found a replica evo 9 front and replica evo Jdm rear bumper shipped for 600. You still have to paint them. Those are the prices they quoted me. Good luck , and let us know which way you decide and how you like your decision.

 

I have to pay an extra shipping fee because I'm from PR.

 

The painting alone is worth the price difference, let alone the way better fitment.

 

wow... did the price go up? i only paid about $600 with shipping for my jdm prepainted bumper.

 

Yea last I heard they were like 599 shipped, painted. They must have gone up.

 

They've been slowing creeping up for a while.

 

Where the hell are they selling JDM rears for 900$?? I got mine for 625$ gruppe-s.
