I thought I read that is the only thing needed to do to make it fit, so what else is required then?

For a GD3 the jdm is a direct match.

Considering the J's stellar rear tail lights bolt in with no body modification then I would assume the rear bumper would work as long as the rear crash guard is trimmed down.

I don't think J's has a rear bumper for the Fit, it's just a rear lip/diffuser on an OEM JDM GE8 bumper.

^ take off the crash bar and any rear bumper will fit. No one makes one specifically for the USDM rear.

Noblesse
All of the OEM ones from Honda (particularly the 2012 RS rear)
Ings +1
I think Chargespeed makes a kit

Google is your friend!

My guess is no. The jdm GE8 bumper is shorter and that is made to conform to it.
