Question about jdm bumper purchase

Ok so I want to purchase a jdm bumper for my evo but not sure if I should pull the trigger. Keep in mind I am a very conscious buyer. I do a lot of research prior to buying.

There's a jdm bumper from a good source for $361.28 + $300 for shipping. Do you guys think This is a good deal? If not, can you refer me to a site that has it for cheaper? Also I'm from northern Cali

jdm rear

You also need to take into account the rear crash beam. Are you modifying it, buying a jdm rear crash beam or leaving it off altogether? Also, cost of paint and install should also be taken into consideration.

I plan to mod the reinforcement bar and paint it myself. I have a paint booth with paint gun. I'm just a cheap *** and try to maximize my budget lol. That and I do a lot of diy

$361.28 seems too low of a price for the bumper. They are probably padding the shipping to make up for the low price.

Also remember you're going to want the TOW HOOK COVER as well.

In that case I think its worth it. The JDM rear looks hot, I would change mine as well if I didn't have to worry about the cost of painting, crash beam modification and install.
