Really nothing to it.

Pros: Looks so freaking nice.
Cons: Scrapes.

I would go with shineauto replica if you're willing to pay a little more. I have a aerojacket front bumper and I was quite disappointed with the fitment (around the fender area). The shop said there is only so much they can manipulate the fiberglass to make it fit flush.

Ok i see this bumper at several different prices in a wide range. I see Carid for $350 shipped....i see others at $950......and a 3rd at $1600 from Japan. Anyone know what the difference is when they all look the same ??? I don't want to get screwed so any help on where to get this at the best price would be awesome!!!

No clue. I thought Nengun's price was pretty decent until I found out shipping was like $2300....

It's JDM. Shipping will always be the deal killer.

Some more cons:

Pita to do oil changes (ask the installer if they can make the opening larger so you don't have to take the bumper off everytime you change oil)

Will eventually make you get sides and rear to match the front; thus making you spend more of your hard earned money

amuse front and rear bumper is not plug and play option

i am not sure for the real amuse from japan, but for the one from aerojacket and Shine, Fitment is not guaranteed, and you have to drill hole by yourself

alignment take time (or money if you let bodyshop do it)

cons: cost 1100 (800+350$ paint if you do it on your own),cost time and effort.


pro: look freaking good, your car is unique because nobody have it

i have to admit OEM nismo bumper is cool also, you can save your time and money by using OEM nismo bumper
