My philosophy is to get it right the first time. You don't want to have to come back a year from now and have to fix a crack or something. Go true JDM

here is the deal the JDM fits great and its plastic and far more expensive
the other hand th ebay replica its far cheaper but its fiber glass blend so
its up to your wallet and your taste both do almost the same thing a bumper.

why are you saying its 850 for the JDM? driveline has them for 700-750ish shipped. it doesn't need paint work because it is OEM paint already. i've worked with the ebay knockoff. had issues with it hitting the muffler (it curls back around a lot more then the JDM). it also doesn't look quite as good. the JDM fits perfect every time. this would be a no brainer for me, but if cost is more important then fit/finish then your choice may be different.

The fit on the JDM will be spot on as to the eBay knock off brand.

No it doesn't ...!

If fits perfectly n looks identicall ..!

The reason y I chosed eBay was bcz I got a custome paintjob on my evo n it saved me at da time being bout $400 !

Otherwise I think I would of spend $200 more on a actual jdm with a stock color !

Honestly man if ur planning to keep it stock paint just buy n jdm bumper !

But if ur going custome like myself I would deffetnally go eBay to save some money n yes it will fit really good

N about bragging rights f*#k evey1 that gives a shiet bout pointing fingers !

I myself don't like to make other ppl feel bad over something little to nothing
ooh n btw I didn't wanna vote on this cuz u should kno what's better for u !

I have a bby and my friend bought an ebay one for his car but never put it on his car so he asked me if I wanted it for cheap. Since how ever I buy a bumper its gotta be painted anyway I took my stock one off to try it out, and some how fit very well only a little adjustment on mounting points. Still debating on what to do but from what It seems like its a good deal, but the only thing is it has wrong is the spot for the rear side markers so you know its not legit. If you can spring for a real one I say buy it but from the quality and the finish on the replica its actually not bad for the 250 he will sell it to me for.

I agree but if u have to pay da shop more money to sand down a jdm bumper that's gonna get repainted what's da purpose ?

I only did this one bumper cover cuz it saved me 400+ ..!

But if u keep da same paintjob just buy a jdm bumper cover cuz u don't have da hazel of taking it to da shop n repainting it n making sure it matches

Honestly IMO I don't even like da way da stock jdm/replica Evo9 looks like anyways I'm looking to swap this n da near future for something better looking than this thing !

Till then I'll b happy to stick with what I got !

N so far no1 has even take notice of this knockoff n when they do I'll blind them ! Lol

I can say to much looks alright but i know its fake because the diffuser part is painted the wrong color. It looks black which is incorrect so im instantly queued its a replica but from looking at it looks like whatever you did it fits well at least thats always good
