Rear bumper delete

Has any body shaved the back bumper cover making it flush with the taillights?

That’s impressive- I’m sure it looks ‘off’ initially just like the notchbacks do, but once you get used to it I bet it looks badass.

Look at any car built after 2000, particularly the C5/C6/C7 Corvettes. Most all cars rear bumpers are flush with taillights with a fake diffuser.

It doesn't look as out of place as I though it would, well done.

Re: Rear bumper delete

I see you have a Stinger box under the rear end of your car. If you have the hood, could we take a look at it on your car? Thanksl

I have the fiberglass front nose from Stinger, but it is highly modified for fit and esthetics.
