rear bumper exhuast ideas

Im going to try to so somthing screative and different with my exhuast tips. My friend did somthing where he cut to holes on the side of his truck and put dual exhast tips barely sticking out of the wholes and it looks great. I am looking for somthing creative like that to do with my 92 Z28. Any ideas any of you have would be appriciated.

I would also like to know a good website to buy a fender and bumper cover if anybody knows one. thanks

Re: rear bumper exhuast ideas

I don't like it on your car Stephen.....but, something similar to that would look really sweet on mine.

Actually, I've been kicking around ideas in my head lately on what to do with the horrible looking rear bumper on my car. If I only had the photochop skills to see what it would look like before I fire up the sawzall. I'm planning on grafting another bumper cover into mine, but not a 4th gen. I'm leaning more towards a '00 Grand Prix:

Re: rear bumper exhuast ideas

I need to play with it some more & line up the 4th gens top line, with the body line of my car, instead of having that "step" in it.

Problem is though....The big steel bumper insert hangs down into those notched areas, so it would need some surgery too.

Wanna help me?

If we screw up, we just toss the spare one on & we're done!

I'd cut up the spare one first.

No real point to do that though.....Both are white....Both in perfect shape & you won't know where to cut, until it is on the car.

Why take the original off, put the spare on, then start cutting? Just start with what is on the car already. Cut, shape & mold. If I mess up..THEN swap covers.

Of course, most likely, the rear bumper support would need cutting for clearance too. But I think I have a spare one of those too. I know I have a spare front one.
