Title: Rear bumper/exhaust inquiry Post by: Nit3h4wk C0uP3 on June 13, 2013, 02:10:07 PM (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/couperear2_zps63914c86.jpg)
Came across this pic in my travels. Is the area around the exhaust a custom job? Or is it a different bumper? I apologize if this is in the wrong place. Title: Re: Re: Rear bumper/exhaust inquiry Post by: CrackerTeg on June 13, 2013, 02:20:04 PM IIRC, that's either paint or plastidip. Hard to tell if it's the car I'm thinking of from my phone.

Title: Re: Re: Rear bumper/exhaust inquiry Post by: Nit3h4wk C0uP3 on June 13, 2013, 02:42:47 PM So how does one achieve this, or a reasonable facsimile? I could cut the bumper correct?

I like this a whole lot better... Title: Re: Rear bumper/exhaust inquiry Post by: olecram39 on June 13, 2013, 05:34:29 PM that would be a rear diffuser.

Title: Re: Re: Rear bumper/exhaust inquiry Post by: CrackerTeg on June 13, 2013, 06:17:48 PM Sometimes it's referred to as a rear valence. Don't mean to make it difficult. You could also look at the 06-07 coupe rear lip and it has a similar look to it.
Title: Re: Re: Rear bumper/exhaust inquiry Post by: Nit3h4wk C0uP3 on June 13, 2013, 06:25:43 PM Thanks Z! I've read about the 06-07 coupe rear lip. It's short and needs some modifications right? I have some research to do. I love research :)
Title: Re: Re: Rear bumper/exhaust inquiry Post by: CrackerTeg on June 13, 2013, 06:28:34 PM Not sure.

I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I did this on my old coupe. I did mine with plastidip. It probably looked cheap and stupid but I liked it at the time. Here is the only picture I could find. There is a very faint body line on bottom of the bumper that I followed when I painted it.

I have some research to do. I love research :) I can help with this! I have on 06-07 rear lip. It actually fits pretty well. It's not short, it just has some gaps around the corners. With a little bit of heat from a heat gun and some strong double sided tape you can get it to look just about perfect. I haven't taken a heat gun to it yet. From a distance it's hard to tell the gap is there.

I just don't like the rear hfp lip for the 03. Call me crazy lol. Been looking for an alternative in between projects. It's nice to know I have a few options. :) 06-07 Lip looks pretty good! I'll entertain that :thumbsup:
