That does actually look authentic. The passenger rt side is from improper instalation! I know for a fact because I ordered one from Driveline and installed it myself without riveting and i got the same gap. The paint damage is from the installer trying to force it. It needs to be taken off and re-installed properly, search for how to install JDM bumper. You should be responsible for that, imo , unless the people who sold it to you installed it.
But it def looks legit. Good luck, let us know the outcome.

bumper looks authentic but, like the post above. The installer f'd it up. The poor fitment is probably contributing to the installer not putting the metal frame square to the bumper and forcing the passenger side corner to meet the rear quarter panel.

The metal frame is a little of a pain to make perfect since you need to be careful not to bend/warp it when removing it from the usdm bumper.

The driver side is very close and probably just needs to be loosened and move slightly which is easy, but the passenger side is actually damaged, the can tell by the corner where it meets the quarter that it was stretched and actually messed the paint up. As far as the color matched goes, it's impossible to tell if the paint matches due to photographs/shadows. Also, how many miles are on the car, since the JDM bumper has 0 miles and 0 sun baking/oxidation.

The rear diffuser should be that "grey" color, not colormatched or black. Black would be fine if the shop painted it and probably looks good but thats not how mitsu sends it.

I bought my JDM prior to Driveline shipping them in better boxes and the mitsu box was pretty beat up when I got it but the bumper was 100% fine, the fitment was perfect but still needed a little motivation to get in the right spot as do all body parts even Voltex.

Another +1 for Driveline. Looks like it was installer error. Mine fit perfect, as do all my OEM parts. That's why people pay extra for them. I am also using the deamonwerkz beam. It's great quality and goes on without a hitch. only thing is that the bracket for the license plate is off center just a little bit. Nothing to scoff at though. Shoot me a PM when you install the crash beam, I'd like to know if your license plate bracket is off too. Sorry to thread jack...

Here was my rough time for installation...all times are for ME. No one helped me.
Remove USDM Bumper: 20 mins
Remove USDM Crash Beam: 5 mins
Install Demonworkz crash beam: 5 mins
Remove the Frame(drill rivets) from the USDM Bumper: seemed like forever
Install Frame onto JDM Bumper: 20 mins
Install Rear Bumper: 15mins
Install License Plate: 5 mins

Rough Total Time: 1.5 - 2hrs.

Probably go a lot faster with a 2nd set of hands.

Everything fit great. Thanks to Driveline and Demonworkz.

^ Wrong question. It's how much better do YOU like the JDM bumper! It's all about personal aesthetics. Although I've never met a person who preferred the ugly round USDM
