Saleen Heritage Rear Bumper Done
Got my car back from the paint shop Friday. Of course after a couple weeks waiting, my ankle gets injured Thurs and I really can't drive it or take it somewhere to get really nice pics.
Here's a couple for now, will post better shots later:

Thanks. Yeah, the GT500 spoiler is a lot simpler, but I'm sort of liking the clean look to it at the moment. It may not end up as the final solution, but it'll do for now.

if you get a chance, maybe put up a before/after pic- moving the plate out of the bumper makes a dramatic change to the rearend- looks great.
i still wish someone made lenses without backups- still seriously thinking about getting some broke junkyard lenses and milling out a outer reflector part/milling out my backups/inserting the red piece and getting three similar lenses like a 69... think it would be a cool option to have available for any rearend treatment...
edit- i took the liberty of editing your pic- what do you think? couldnt that be a pretty easy option if someone just popped out these lenses? i did a little chop on mine a long time ago, still would like to try it for real sometine...saw a olds aurora with little almost unnoticable backups right beside the plate, thinking something like that could work for backups...just a thought, curious how others would feel about it...

ha! I just showed the above pics to my wife, asked her what she thought looked better, she picked the all red, but the white ones were ok too...'like ours'...um-no- she actually went out to look at her car
she said she still dont want to change anything on her car, but still, i thought that was kinda funny.

You know, with the major styling changes, it was always in the back of my head "it's not bad now, what if I screw it up"?
Seeing the side by side, I am sooooo happy I went through with the revision
