The fitment issues are pretty major, actually - at least in my opinion. You can get genuine ones for around $600. Why skimp on such a major part of the aesthetics of your car?

I think I read somewhere that this one allows you to keep rear bumper beam .

No, they are the same size as the actual JDM, but the molding process isn't as good.
I do remember seeing someone with this bumper from Streetconcepts and saying he didn't have any fitment issues and showed pictures as well......

Not sure about the fitment issues, but I do like the idea of the cf diffuser idea...not sure it's worth the risk. How bout we have Rexpeed chime in and do it right!

The fitment issues are prolly involving the crash beam too. Calling is the only way to find out for sure..

why buy a fake when you can get a new one for about the same price??

fake - $290 each + shipping (about $100-200) and $ for paint ..
