Doesn't look like much is out there. Maybe I'll make my own this winter. I'd probably do it out of steel though. Steel--->Bondo---->Paint---->????---->Profit???

I mean, I find it uncanny that nobody makes one even a little smaller. Even something prelude-esque would be fine by me. (Or its an excuse to post a pic from my new camera)Or eclipse? Not a stock pic, but you get the idea of how the rear end is shaped.

What do you care, they aren't your cars, and we ARE in america. Chances are it can always be converted back to stock- or something close to it.

Eh, I just think that if something is done in poor taste, it should not be done. I like the prelude, but I think the 2G DSMs are hideous. As you said though, its just my opinion.

I can definitely see where someone would think that. It seems like you would either like it or not.

I like the way S13s look with the rear bumper off.... so im sure a bumper that doest protrude so much would look good too.

I kinda like it. i think if done properly on a hatchy it would be sexy. no where near as sexy as the c5 but sexy in its own way. i say start cutting crap off and make it happen some how.

I like the way the actual bumper looks, but not so much anything from below it (going to the rear wheels). If it was painted, it would look pretty good. What did you do anyway?

very sad and too late to remove pics !!! oem rear bumper on a coupe its to large so i cut and put some screws to hold pieces together. some time ago it was all fiberglassed but some day i dont like the way it looks and take off fiberglass !!

dont worry, i try to get oem rear bumper and think it will look worse with my actual spoiler!!
