yah apparently my car originally came with something like this and it was fine fitment until I decided to get the Stillen kit and it wouldn't fit around the bumper like it should and the gap under the taillights was a little bigger than with the real bumper. I have a real OEM rear bumper I had on my 2000 at my house that i'd sell you...I responded to your post in the classifieds.

must be luck. i have an A/M front bumper and it fit perfeclty with no problems. i then added the stillen lip and it fit perfectly as well. kinda hard to say when you have 2 totally different views.

My aftermarket rear bumper looks the same from far, but looking at the lines, its not 100%. Normal people can't see it but it drives me nuts.
