Real or not.... the corner looks like it was dropped. That to me, looks to be the root of your issue. I would try to straighten that up and see what happens.

1. i think you got ripped off and sold a replica NOBODY HAS TO REPAINT JDM REARS UNLESS YOUR TALKING ABOUT BBY AS THEY WERE NEVER MADE IN THAT COLOR. I should know i made a very very very very detailed installation guide of that rear you should have followed and did it yourself.







2. the exhaust should get shorten at the tip hommie always or you can buy a jdm rear exhaust steup



3. nobody makes backing plates but I DO MAKE A CUSTOM one but im not a vendor



4. The diffusor color is unreleased by mitsubishi period its not listed anywhere as its a custom color. I would know i messaged the japanese corporate office only to be told where to go. I found a paint shop and we spent a week custom mixing colors till we had it




5. you can verfiy its a real jdm rear buy the mits logo on the sticker on the inside of the bumper

For future reference, it's: CMA10039, AKA Eisen Gray. Only comes in the JDM vortex generator, wing, and Mitsu Montero two tone.


To the OP - I believe the replicas are made out of fiberglass. I don't think any of them come in polyurethane.

I think you bought a replica. There should be no painting needed on the rear diffuser area. My bumper fit perfectly fine and got it from driveline

after removing and reinstalling my jdm rear a second time I had similar fitment issues on the two quarter panel sections heading towards the tail lights

I have yet to loosen everything and adjust it but the initial time it lined up perfectly

I contribute this to my modified usdm crash beam...which is putting some pressure in certain places on the back end thus stretching the bumper out very slightly

just food for thought

Thanks for posting those pictures RockmanX! For those looking to purchase a REAL JDM Bumper, make sure that the vendor explains how the package will arrive:

(Unfortunately, due the increased cost of importing these bumpers, we are no longer shipping them with the original Mitsubishi boxes)
1. (For orders which weren't shipped in the Mitsu box, post Sept. 2009) Does it come wrapped in the official Mitsubishi Motors of Japan bubble-wrap, cut specifically for the OE-bumpers (JDM)?
2. Does it have the official Mitsubishi stamps/tags stuck onto that bubble-wrap?
3. Does it have those same stamps/tags on the inside of the bumper?
4. Are the Mitsubishi part-codes engraved into the inside of the bumper?
5. Is the tow-hook cover placed inside its own packaging, with an official Mitsubishi part number tag attached?

All or any of these questions should should help you from getting screwed over.

^^Another reason as to why we haven't used those Mitsubishi boxes in (close to) 2 years. Too many flexible points where the bumper might get damaged, plus that cardboard is only single ply. Every bumper we ship is guarded around a 25lb 2-ply box.

Question for you- Did you have a hard time opening that box? It looked like Jaws tried unpacking everything.

lol its all good you seen my new updated jdm rear install thread

driveline team, just so I understand, you're saying you guys have never had someone complain about bumper fitment and that all the bumpers you have received and sent out fit without any issues?

as for the comment above about doing it myself, I 100% agree except that my car was already in for mechanicam work and they were only going to tack on .5hr to take care of the bumper.....that was well worth the cost of my time

Got mine from driveline fits perfectly and doesnt look fat and bloated like the american bumpers look from the factory. So sorry your having problems hope you come to a quick resolution that gets you a true jdm bumper with out cost to you. Best of luck
