Aftermarket rear bumpers?

Whats out there? Most of the ones of seen so far dont impress me all that much. I have dual exhaust, but do not have a GT rear bumper (i just cut out the other side on my v6 bumper) so the lip kits wont work. Im looking for a whole new rear bumper and the only one that I seem to like is the Shelby rear bumper but Id like to see what else is out there. Anyone got any pics of their new rears?

Anyone have the 3d carbon boy racer rear bumper? Is this a complete replacement or is it just a valence?

Cool Looks good to me!

Looked at your Mustang's dual tailpipe rearend picture and believe it looks sharp, clean and very functional!! Sometimes less is more. Nice!

I love my V6 bumper from the back and the rear angled sides, but looking at it from a direct side view irritates me because the lines of it sit higher than the rest of the body. The GT/CS is about the best look bumper out there other than the Boy Racer bumper. Oh yeah, I voted for it to at your cardomain site.

By the way on your car domain poll... 100% go with the JLT 2 and Tune. You will have no regrets!

I like the GT500 or the PJ Saleen rear bumper.

Thanks guys! The CAI+Tune is going to be done in the spring. You cant see it in my pictures, but the exhaust shop that originally installed my exhaust managed to screw it up so bad the driver side muffler actually melted part of it away so they are buying me a new bumper which is why im looking at getting one now, otherwise I probably would have left it alone. After looking at most of my options, I think Im going to end up getting the GT/CS rear bumper unless something new comes out within the next week or so. Thanks for the input and suggestions!

Cool Good Plan!!

Got to agree on your choice. If you have to buy a new replacement, the GT/CS/GT-500 rear bumper would be a very good choice, to look sharp back there! Works great with the larger aftermarket tip pipes. When you get her all done, shoot us a picture of the fix. "RC"

I love the H281/PJ setup, but I think you need to get different exhaust to fit it, or at least modified as its set up for quad tips.
