I have owned a Raceonusa rear bumper, front fenders, front bumper, and side skirts. Lots of $$$ and headaches later, now have a OEM JDM rear bumper from Driveline Motorsorts, stock front bumper, stock front fenders, and only now have the aftermarket side skirts (both have cracks). These side skirts will be replaced or repaired in the near future. To be clear, I did not own the JDM replica bumper you referenced in your post. The quality of this bumper maybe better than the Raceonusa Hi-Flex FRP parts I had in the past.

In no way am I bashing Raceonusa or the body shop that did the work. Just pointing out the difference between aftermarket body parts and OEM.







I openly admit that I am not the world's best driver. However, I cracked the aftermarket front bumper less than two weeks. Backed into a Mustang after about two years. The Mustang had a scratch and my Hi-Flex FRP bumper was destroyed.

I learned the hard way that OEM parts are the best parts for a DD. Just my opinion, but higly recommend you spend the extra money now for the matching GG JDM bumper. I got mine at Driveline here in LA (call them directly for the best deal). They installed my JDM rear bumper as well. Aftermarket body parts just do not fit or last as well as OEM.

Pics Before Looks good from afar, but closer it's very easy to see waves in my front fenders and side skirts (not smooth like OEM). The front fenders are the same as shown on the white Evo from Raceonusa's website shown in an earlier post.

Don't cheap out.

You are even so cheap, you aren't matching colors.

Those raceon bumpers are horrid. A good way to make your Evo look cheap.

Thanks! I sent them a PM.

I read another thread from them stating that as of April 1 there was a 10% - 15% price increase

So the bumper alone is $799.99 + however much it costs to get it to Pasadena, MD...which is over 3,000 miles away..LOL
