Darkn3s: VIS JDM rear rep

I made this thread to show others that were wondering what it would look like once mounted and painted with little to no modifications. I purchased it through a member on here that actually had an account with VIS and pricing wasnt bad at all $320 shipped. I was worried at first because of the fact that it was a aftermarket fiberglass piece but that actually made the fitment that much better vs the other poly reps out there. Everything fit perfectly like it was suppose to around the edges, under the tail lights and where it meets the 1/4 panel. Pretty impressed with this. Im not a fan of aftermarket parts because of fitment issues but i wasnt going to shell out $1000+ for a OEM bumper and paint. I was definitely proved wrong with this piece.

**yes the rear crash bar has to be removed or modified but i just took mines out
**yes the license plate bracket/plate lights bolt up perfectly
**no the tow hook cover isn't removable (all one piece)


and more questions feel free to ask

sorry for the iphone pics but ill get a better shoot going on soon

Before


Fitment (no modifying)








messing with the filters some to see if i can bring out the black bumper a little better (tough color to show off using a iphone)



Paint time
