    Overseas bumper groupbuy?

    Hello!
    I think we should look into the viability of USDM owners group-buying the skinny rear bumper from someone overseas. If anyone in a non-US market would be willing to see about purchasing some bumpers in bulk or something, or any other US market owners wanted to chime in regarding their willingness to buy a rear bumper...

    What bumper are you talking about?

    I damaged my front bumper, so I'm looking into importing one.

    Nope. Lovely Houston potholes.

    I was turning right and didn't notice this deep pothole. Pushed the right side bumper molding up, which in turn also bent the top bumper that meets the passenger right fender well.

    Unfortunately, I'm referring to the non-US rear bumper, which is smaller and smoother than the one we get. The US version sticks out further, and has little reflectors on the sides.Good luck replacing your front bumper! Let us know how much it costs.

    Gooney - that's funny... I guess we all want what we cannot have!

    Should organize a PH -> US bumper swap. I'm sure you could figure out something to do with the reflector... side-exit exhaust?

    I prefer the first one too. I've a question though. Can tail light garnish be installed on 2015 models?
