you'll need the bumper, the exhaust tips, and the Saleen spoiler

You'd need the rest of the kit to pull it off. It will look retarded if you just do the rearend.

I dunno....granted Im one HUGE Saleen fan but the
SMS302 rear end is the best hands down IMHO.

Since they are the same color here they are side by side:

The problem is that it makes the car longer. I love the shape but the added length makes it a "push" for me. It's too bad because I would love to do something with the rear of my Vert.

I can’t find any pricing on the SMS stuff. Anyone have an idea on how much the rear bumper cover and wing are?

IMO the SMS rearend is gross. The giant spoiler on top of the already molded in lip spoiler puts it over the top for me.

I prefer the Saleen, and think it would work fine (especially if you painted the side skirts).

Here is a quick 'chop to show you what it might look like (though I would remove the spoiler as it won't look right with the extended Saleen rear -- its just hard to do in PSD):




I know SMS was trying to make the rear look thinner, but it didn't quite work for me. Looks like a 4x4 back there. And that double spoiler always makes me cringe. I love the SMS side skirts though.

Well, I know who to go to when I want an idea of how specific parts will look on my car! Fantastic work, Rampant! I hope you have a career in doing much the same!

That's an awesome site. I think it just helped me figure out exactly what I'm gonna do to my car once I finally get it.
