JDM Rear With MintBlue Type 1 Installed

JDM Rear

If anyone has questions let me know. The bumper itself was SIMPLE to swap out .. it was just the new mounting plates that were a PITA.

Plus, a very big thank you once again to Ricky (mrpopnfresh) for helping me get the bumper.

when are you gonna paint it?

 

[Protege5Gurly]

Ive been waiting on the JDM rear to get the car painted, and now that its here ... I will drive the car around for about a week with the MB rear on to let any stress cracks develop .. then its off for paint. The car will be done in time for Nopi (Sept 20-21)

are you matching the current color, or getting an all new color?

 

[Matthew]

why did you double post this?

 

[Matthew]

nevermind, you TRIPLE posted...i deleted it from the protege5 forum...one post is enough i think, let alone THREE

 

[Protege5Gurly]

For Nopi it will be stock color ... however we are planning a complete color change for next year.


Razor ... I posted it in a few sections for these reasons:

1. Protege5 -- the JDM rear was a P5 specific part and I know several people have questions about it.

2. Cosmetic -- Again, this is regarding to cosmetic parts (the jdm rear and the mb kit)

3. Photo Vid -- kinda explains itself.

Your the mod ... do as you see fit -- I did.

you *can* order the JDM rear bumper prepainted, but it costs 60% more than what you've paid

 

[Protege5Gurly]

There was no point to me paying more to have it prepainted and then shipped overseas. I got an AMAZING price on this bumper and wont cost that much here in the states to have it painted .. plus, do you honestly think a prepainted bumper will actually make it to the states in perfect condition?

so if you dont mind saying whats the amazing price you got? =D

 

[derrick1623]

where did you buy the parts?

 

[Protege5Gurly]

Ricky (mrpopnfresh) was in Germany for military duty and helped me get the bumper and ship it over.

In total I think I paid $135 for the bumper/mounting plates and then another $25 for shipping - I HAVE NO IDEA HOW HE GOT IT SHIPPED FOR THAT PRICE. I had gotten a quote from someone else in Germany for $260 to ship!!!
