Installed my Vitz RS rear bumper today

[DeathBeard]

side view for your consideration, waiting on C-One lip from Japan boats travel slow I guess

50% tint all around front at 30%..getting the aftermarket rs reflectors to fit in the oem vitz bumper was a pita custom brackets and the whole 9...also if you look at the license plate there is a big gap not sure how I am going to tackle this yet, usdm license plate too short by a good 1 inch with no holes to mount and no license plate light (using zip ties for now), also say bye-bye to your usdm crash bar in the rear

Did you get that from elady eBay seller ?

Car is looking good sir !

[DeathBeard]

yes elady when I recieved the bumper it had a lot of work that needed to be done, she decided not to tell me so I am not too happy with her right now..Thank you for the nice words

[DeathBeard]

elady drop ships from a ton of different junk yards in Japan, she drop shipped from someone who sucks bumper was beat up when I got it I.E I asked her for a bumper with no broken tabs and the tabs on this were broken, even though she said it was "perfect"..Thankfully I was dealing with a skilled body shop though the color match is off one shade too light for the rest of the car may get it resprayed: though all who know me admit I am anal about these things :-)

eh no worries, my rear bumper doesnt quite fit in the tabs on the right side and protrudes a bit. I got mine from echo_hrs/ctscott. Welcome to the RS club regardless :P

Cant be helped. Be glad you were able to nab one.

I had mine received last year in Feb 2012 and her description are perfect detailing all the blemishes and scratches. Tabs are impossible to survive when shipping. I had one tab broken in the package and the other one loosely bent about to snap off. Fixed both somewhat at the body shop where i paint matched it.

But nice job on getting the bumper. Why didnt you get OEM reflectors along with it? They fit in perfect. :wub:

Any issues with the USDM exhaust not fitting the cutout hole for the JDM rear bumper? Also, does the rear wheel well fender liner line up properly with bumper?

[SilverSquash!]

Looks sweet and low! by the way if you need to fill the gap between the bumper and numberplate, why not try placing a light in the location and making it an extra reverse light of even make a side number-plate illuminator

many aftermarket exhausts will not line up with the cutout. the stock muffler will also not line up. you can re-position it, or weld the hangers in a different position, or get a jdm muffler made for the RS. I had no problems with the fender liner at all (06-08 RS bumper). the later model rear bumper (08-09) may have an issue..from what i remember what kioshi had

Did you have to replace both front and rear USDM bumper bars?

[enviri]

short answer yes

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Looking good.

What kind of rims are those, SSR?

[ilikerice]
