Why don't you just have him send you a pic of the inside of the lip where it says Honda?

is there a difference between the CTR rear bumper and a usdm rear bumper?

can't tell by the pics, but I would say it is worth an hour drive to find out if it is real if you really want it

On the inside of the JDM rear bumper it should have outlines to where rear fog lights can be cut out. Both sides. I don't know about the US bumper. Atleast that's the case in my friends CTR rear bumper that came off CTR.

So the only difference is the outline for the rear lights? Seems pretty dumb then.

those picture suck. I can usually tell by looking if the rear is fake or not but those pictures indeed are not very good. Judgeing from the crappy pics it's fake

I heard CTR has a cutout for the exhaust in the rear lip while the fakes don't. Also the rear lip curls under the rear bumper while the fake one doesn't.
