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

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

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. |

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?

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
