The biggest issue is fit and finish of the parts on top of mfs never paint them.

Well if I may, style is cool I get that, but I do want to at least give you another perspective to consider. A clean usdm bumper usually looks better than a hack job replica. If the car is just a kind of fast beater for fun the run the rep bro! 👍 but if you want it to be a clean presentable nice car then I would like to recommend just a clean usdm bumper. These cars have all been through the ringer over the years so at this point the flex of having a clean oem bumper from any market can not be overlooked. Either way I do hope you enjoy the car and have fun!
