i was wondering if anyone has ever shortened their rear bumper like this

personally i think the stock rear bumpers stick out way to far

i've seen a few photoshops of a rolled rear pan look and theres a guy on fiber glass forums that modified his rear bumper to look like a 5th gen.he used the foam piece from a newer mustang behind the bumper to replace the huge stock egg crate absorber. then made a new fiberglass bumper cover.
here is the stock absorber


heres the mustang foam absorber

look at how much further the exhaust sticks out.

i was wondering if the same kind of thing can be done to shorten the bumper and still retain a somewhat stock appearance. has anyone ever done this. i searched but couldn't find any useful information.

 

so nobody has tried to shorten their bumper or knows any thing about this.

 

I've done several Photoshops for people, but no one has gone so far as to build one yet.

 

i have seen a bunch of photoshops of a rolled rear pan look like they do in mini trucks but how would you do that and still have a bumper behind it. thats why in the chop i did there is still a small lip just not as big as stock. it wouldn't be legal to completely remove the the bumper. so i was wondering what other cars would have a good absorber like the foam mustang piece that one guy used. that would allow you to get as close to flat as possible.
