Default ISF Rear Bumper (eBay)

Does anyone have any experience with the $400-550 complete rear ISF bumpers off eBay? (Fitment, completeness of "kit", etc.) After painting one of these it wouldnt be all that much cheaper than buying the real deal from Sewell (last i checked/remember it was $1100 for the rear painted).

Please save the negative comments on non ISF's with the F bumper.

My inspiration for this IDEA comes from Papahoff's car... and i just got the JoeZ Race exhaust off the classifieds and they stick out a little far. I knew they do going into it, but if i do the bumper swap, I'd have to cut the tips off which I'm very on the fence about.

just buy the individual pieces from sewell and try to buy the exhaust tips off someone with ISS forged exhaust. I cut my fsport tips right where it meets the muffler where the original welds are so i can just weld it right back when its time to part out.

If you need the part numbers, let me know i think i still got them.

I saw the ebay thing your talking about right before i went oem and to be honest, the exhausts on the ebay look a little wierd.

Thanks for the input. I figured if i eventually go this route, cutting the tips off at the joint/welds would probably be a good route so they could somewhat easily be welded back. Good call on ISS tips, although i dont know how hard those would be to come by, or if that company could just sell me them?

Either way, this is a ways off if i do it, since I'm not 100% sold on the idea for my car. And I'd want a nice diffuser back there like yours, but man, that thing costs more than the bumper haha.
