I have heard good things about shine bumpers fitting pretty well.

I had the shine version. There was a small gap underneath the headlights. Fit pretty well besides that

you'll regret buying VIS front bumper, the fitment is terrible. I can speak from the past experiences. I heard shine is pretty good. I would buy real deal. Is a headache trying to get them fit perfectly.

Nothing fits perfectly because no one wants to spend the truly absurd amount of money to make rigid molds that pop out parts to within a millimeter-so always expect to do bodywork, just in varying degrees. Not sure about legit parts like ASM and Spoon, but I really doubt they're doing anything different. That being said, I was f@#king blown away by the fit of the Shine ASM parts I recently got. Like, I seriously bought a tub of body filler and Bondo hair and set aside a weekend before I even got the parts--but they damn things actually fit amazing well I really don't think it'll take much work. Just cleaning up some interface and edges. So unless their ASM molds are specifically amazing, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shine. Also their prices are super low.

Its a hit and miss with anything you buy.. Granted some companies just produce horrible products but I've seen authentic products with horrible fitment and replicas that fit better than their authentic counterparts. It's all really a gamble. But, on another note I've heard more bad than good from Shine and plan on purchasing their spoon rep bumper too.

Shine all the way. The new batch of bumpers I can say will fit perfectly. Cuz they used my car as a template to fix any parts that might not be fitting right. I have the bumper chillin in my room. I can take pics if you want of it on my car.
