Hey Guys

Just so you guys know we are listening to what you have to say and it seems that you all want an exact replica.

Cool, we have done our research and found the best urethane guy in CA to make an exact replica of the JDM. No side marker and not painted. We are still trying to decide on the tow hook cover. OEM? Carbon? Or we are going to make a or urethane version. Still working on it. but your feedback is helping us decide.

What do you guys think?

OEM?
Carbon?
Polyurethane?

As far as price goes we have a rough idea that we can do it for 495.

Definitely not trying to be a debbie downer here or anything because you guys are a great, reputable company. But what kind of sense does this price make for consumers?

Driveline sells a guaranteed fit, pre-painted guaranteed match OEM bumper for $695 plus shipping.

Take $495 plus paint... that's approximately $250 for paint. That's $745. Even if you guys ship it for free, customers are only saving about $100 over the Driveline supplied OEM bumper that has a factory applied paint job. I would gladly pay the extra $100 for the peace of mind of a perfectly matched, perfectly fitting OEM bumper.

On top of that, customer's still have to deal with the crash beam solution. I think for this product to be successful, you guys really need to re-evaluate your pricing.

Just my $0.02.

I'd be very interested pending on the cost. I drive my EVO on many long drive with my family and having a child in the car I have always refused the JDM rear due to the rear crash beam issue, dont want to modify stock, or get AM etc. I would love to have a JDM look bumper that retains my reinforcement bar intact.

$695

IMHO, if it's the replica it should be 400 painted. That's just me. Since, used JDM rear goes for 500-550.

yeah driveline sells them very reasonably pre-painted OEM quality.

There is another company selling JDM replica rear bumpers on ebay or something already.

What you SHOULD do... is get the OEM ones like Driveline does and get us a better deal... and have them in stock
