Ur car is really what VIP stands for. Modded with elegance, taste & character. Kinda reminds me of my LS430

when dealing between us spec cars vs jdm stuff, and frp (fiber re-inforced plastic, basically fiber glass) vs stock bumpers (plastic), one can almost always expect issues during fitment. not to mention when you are trying to mix fit things
have lip kits are very different from bumper replacement. lip kits actually fit on a lot easier than bumpers, coz' it's always just add-on to the bumper already by using extra screws or clips, etc... fitment are usually much better.
bumper replacement is a totally different story. you are dealing with all the factory brackets, panels, clips. it's much harder to transfer everything over.
first of all us bumper and jdm bumpers are different, specially in the front, due to different crash requirement. that's why putting jdm bumpers over and you likely need to lose or modify some panels. and then with the fiber glass bumpers, sometimes the fiber glass are thicker than stock plastic bumpers so things might not fit flush, gaps might not be even, brackets might not fit. and also since frp is not close to be as flexible as platic bumpers, a lot of the clips might be very hard to fit.
so in the end, usually quite a bit of work is needed to fit things on, and a good shop needs to know what they are doing, and often times fit things on before painting, etc... so adjustments could be made.
this does not just apply on jod design. same thing happens on aimgain and most other bumper replacement kits i have seen
