Icon2 EP3 Accident :/ help please!

My friends EP3 just got hit in the back, but good news is its just the rear bumper, hatch and taillight damaged. Anyway, he has a 03 EP3, is there a difference in the 04-05 rear bumper? I thought there was, and does anyone have a picture of the JDM type R EP3 rear bumper? Because password JDM sells it for 600 but it has no picture....any help is appreciated thanks!

02-05 are all the same. The JDM bumper is the exact same as stock but without the reflector lights.

hey i got into accident 5 months ago, just make sure your bar behind the bumper is not damaged, and in my opinion its time for you to get a jdm is lighter and shorter than the usdm one

Its called re-bar. The JDM one is different but I think you can mod the USDM rebar to fit with the JDM bumper.

The JDM bumpers are shorter when you look length wise. I made a custom rebar for my jdm bumper and have sold a few to local guys that went JDM. I will try to post a pic of a jdm bumper and the rebar i am running
