my brother is in japan right now, he got it for me, it was in a mitsubishi box and everything, idk? and when u said leave it the way it is...do you mean just paint the whole thing tarmac black, because when i look at the cars with jdm bumpers on here it looks like the insert is a different color

The insert is actually like a dark grayish color. When you buy them painted already the color is just the actual ABS material it is made out of. If you dnt mind me asking how much did it run you? Any pics?


p.s. in other words just paint the actual bumper leave the diffuser the way it is.

Oh wow. I'll trade you brothers hahaha. I want one so bad. But my buddy isn't in Tokyo I was trying to find out how much it would cost me to get it shipped but he couldn't do anything for me. But yeah man I would leave it the way it is and just paint the rest TB. Cnt wait to see how it comes out.

The Diffuser you are refering to is black which is the mid section on the bottom and the rest of the bumper is the same color as the car.

In Japan you can goto the BX and have any item shipped as long as its not hazardes. I was there for a year from 07-08 and its simple and only cars they ship for free and it has to be the car you brought IIRC.
