Any pictures of a JDM tail side by side with a knock off? That may help speak to any differences.

If all the Evos over here came with the JDM style tails and the ones over in Japan looked liked the clear ones we get then you guys would want the clear style. How pathetic

I don't have pictures when I got mine but when I compared, the only difference was the replicas do not have the "Stanley" manufacturer stamp on the lenses like the OEM ones.

i say just get some cheap evo 8 tails for like 50-75 off the forums and paint them up. I had mine done by a member to look jdm style i also ADDED a black lip round the corners to give them a different flare then the standard lights. Also i have a real authentic jdm rear on my car repainted BBY which they never made in that color

You need to come look at my car and judge for yourself to see if you could tell what was repainted. My car looks brand new. PM me if you want to meet up.

...here is a question...
the bumper comes unpainted, does this mean that the 'diffuser' is unpainted also, meaning that it will need to be done metallic grey or whatever, in addition to the color you need to color match???...also, what about the tow hook cover??

trying to see, as I may give it a shot for sh**s and giggles, and would need to get a ballpark on how much paint and of what I would need, and too see if the monetary end result would be worth the hassle VS getting an authentic...

well my theory is this as you saw i just got a replica unpained of course and i have a ww evo it will be easy to match the paint color but the diffuser will be infinaly harder to match that color and with that being said i wont be trying to replicate that color at all cause if my memory serves me correctly there might be some flake in the paint. Also to everyone who askes me if its real i will tell them the truth cause people who have the real deal will know the difference.

color is unreleased by mitsu. I had a paint shop custom mix the color they finally got it only took a week and they gave me a touch up bottle for free since they could not get it done in one day
