JDM Rear Bumper Interest Thread!

Hey Guys-

My boss is considering making a polyurethane version of the JDM rear bumper if there is enough interest. Here is what will be different on this version.

For reference:


Would you like?

1: Making it a little longer so that the USDM model can retain the use of the rear bumper beam and in turn making most exhaust systems fit better than on the JDM version.

AND/OR

2: Side markers like the USDM models.

If there is enough interest, we will go to our manufacturer of the Aerosync front bumpers and get a mold made and sell direct to you guys! We just want to know what you guys like and want from the new bumpers.

FEEDBACK?

I would be interested in one but without the markers. Would these come pre-painted as well?

If you are going to do it, make it an exact replica.

as annoying as it is to get the rear crash beam modded to make the JDM Bumper fit, I think it woud look kinda of goofy if you make a mold longer to fit the USDM crash beam. With this being said, I am curious to what a mold would look like with the JDM rear diffuser but in a longer version.

If this longer JDM bumper does not look good, you can always just make replicas of the real one.

Side markers..? Don't real care.

One issue to consider is the shipping. Most replicas are cheap but shipping usually kills their value as you are almost $350 bucks into the hole. At this price range, this better be a hell of a replica. And this doesn't include price to paint the bumper. So now your pushing $500.

I am sure you guys already considered this though...

my 2 centavos

Take that extra engineering/mold work effort and work on fitment.

<-- I'll buy one

I'd be interested depending on price especially if you can make it fit well with the USDM crash beam. Don't really care about the sidemarkers, either way works.
