Saleen Heritage bumper & painted billet badges installed

After considering the GT500/CS rear bumper, I wanted something a bit a different and went with the Saleen Heritage rear bumper set-up over the winter. I also had a set of billet GT fender emblems painted with the bumper last week and finally have everything installed.

Next up is a painted set of AVS taillight trim that is sitting in the garage and I think that will finally finish the exterior.

Thanks Paul as your car inspired me to go this route in lieu of the GT500/CS rear. I will try your recommendations on adhering the taillight trim and can finally call the exterior done for a while.

I ordered the Moss/AVS surrounds and painted them VHT trim black... borrowed the idea from Torch_Vert.

Here's the link Taillight trim

They're AVS covers that have been painted. (Moss Muscle amongst others carries them)

Very clean, very nice. I also like the quad tail pipe tips. Little things make the car for me.

Doogie, where did you get the license plate panel and how much did you pay for it? I'm sitting on a Heritage bumper and want to grab one before (for some reason) they become unobtanium...
