I'd be there when they test fit it after they remove your old bumper.
Who made the replica?If you paid like 299 bucks for it,there will be fitment probs.

every replica is bound to have fitment problems unless you get a lucky one. just be there when they fit it and hope you chose a good body shop.

Fitment varies.. I got the VIS n2 front, side skirts and a Chargespeed rear. The fitment for everything was better then the shop expected. The rear bumper is what gave them the most problems. Anyways I'd stay close by to check how everything fits if I were you.

+1 for fitment varying from vendor to vendor

Considering that you asked this question after you already purchased the bumper there is little that you can do other than have the shop try to make it work or return it

Shine should have little to no fitment issues. If the shop says it has major issues let Ken at Shine know he will take care of you. Otherwise the shop is trying to rip you off.

I've had several parts from Shine.All fit perfect.Also,in a related area,
Z1 Motorsports does not offer aftermarket body kits as a major part
of their business.Mostly because of poor fitment and quality concerns.
They did however, select Shine as a supplier for Nismo replicas because
of Shine's reputation on offering consistant quality.
You should have no problems.

Shine is known for having pretty solid fitment.
