I would never do it to my Thirdgen. But that looks surprisingly good, Duraflex.

I saw that bumper I think on ebay. If it were on the right car it would look good.

Re: I have to admit...that looks pretty dang good.
I think there is too much "bumper surface area" for it to look good. It stands out and doesn't flow with the rest of the car. Even a dimpled line across would help the look.

Re: I have to admit...that looks pretty dang good.
Youre right. i would like to see a side view to see how it forms around the back of the car and how it alters the car profile.

Re: I have to admit...that looks pretty dang good.
Is it just me or is this completely photoshopped? The pixilation makes it looks so. I bet they have never even taken pictures of a car with this actual bumper on it.

Come on guys, please. Yuk.
Re: I have to admit...that looks pretty dang good.
they are definitely photoshoped, look at the pics for the whole kit you can really tell from the pics of the front bumper. They did the same thing for their "GT" kit. The "GT" kit doesnt look that bad from the front, I first saw it in a magazine ad and it looked real, went online and it is clearly photoshoped. Makes me wonder about the company, and hard to consider purchasing a product that hasn't been actually made yet.

Had blackouts, loved them, wasnt happy they were just velcro'd on, and someone walked by and jacked them. Not investing another 100$ on a set for someone else to enjoy

Re: I have to admit...that looks pretty dang good.
I've always thought that the fact that the back end sweeps up was stupid. I've always wanted a rear bumper that actually stays parallel to the side skirts.

Re: I have to admit...that looks pretty dang good.
Ive made a few changes to my IROC-Z (cowl hood/different wing) so I guess I cant really talk about not making changes that you may like.

Re: I have to admit...that looks pretty dang good.
Im on the fence with that, I think it could look pretty good if the rest of the car was done right.
I have the automotive mindset and design skills, however if I had the resources/skills to actually make bumpers, I could whip some nice ones up.

A big old flat backend that does nothing to increase performance or style. Just making the rear look bigger for no rerason.
Guess it gives rice rs more room for decals.
