[big_rig]

well guys, the time has come for me to retire my oem bumper and move on to a new one. so im open to any ideas any of you might have, just remember, im in a 2.5, so i dont really think it's a great idea to scream 1000hp lol

Im thinking screaming 2000hp with the rear ED who doesnt like the spaceship look

[big_rig]

ed is actually the only one i really like as much as the oem bumper. i just dont think my poor 2.5 can live up to the impression is gives off.

OEM

+1 or maybe just add the Stillen rockers.

If you have no place to keep your oem bumper I'll take it off your hands. ;-) Not even a year after I got my car I was rear ended and now drive around with a license plate imprint on my rear bumper.

[srwong]

i haven't even seen any descent looking rear bumbers

im going to post up a pic of my bumper for you and then you can decide if you would still like it haha.

just do what I'm trying to do. your about to get a custom exhaust, just go quad tips. cut off the 2 fins in the diffuser to make room for the quad tips and then have a body shop bondo the 2 fins back on and paint the whole rear diffuser a gloss black.... it'll look sick! thats what I'm going to do

[big_rig]

and i thought i would just throw this one in for s*** and giggles. and yes, your are seeing this correctly. the cheapest gas i have ever actually paid for in my life.

do you think quad tips are a good idea for a 2.5? i dont wanna sound like a moped screaming down the street haha. are there any sound clips for quad 2.5s going around?

[mmkeller]

Gas at 31 cents, ahhh the good old days. I remember when there was gas wars and my dad would go and put 1-2 dollars in the tank just to top off. On the bumper, I would go with Stillen rockers

[big_rig]

yeah, this happened like 2 weeks ago though! the guy was supposed to set the price at $3.199, but he accidentally set it at 0.319¢ haha. i went in there the other day and he remembered who i was and all but told me to leave haha. but yeah, i found a primer'd oem bumper on ebay for like 225 shipped. i think im going to pick it up and get the rockers. thanks for the input folks!

oem + stillen corners = amazing.

[jdeb101]

Wow.. ok I'll stick with my bumper thanks. haha Thats too bad man. Its kinda neat how it cracked right at the edge like that.

well, you could even have quad tips on stock exhaust. it's just the tips, it doesnt have anything to do with sound or performance... just looks. I have a custom cat-back exhaust system on my car so thats where I get my performance and sound from, not the quad tips. you should look into it. in person it looks a lot better, especially since I lowered my car. It gives it a nice aggressive look but without being super flashy over doing it.

[Hussain]

here are some pics to show what I'm talking about with the fins....

heres a pic of my car before I lowered it



and heres what I was talking about with the fins



and here is the same pic but with no writing in the way

oem + stillen corners = amazing.

This is what I meant, Stillen corners, not rockers...whatev the jam jam that goes on the rear bumper. Eventually Im going to do the corners, Stillen lip, and skirts (not necessarily Stillen). Keep it OEM as possible but add a little paprika.

[big_rig]

alright, if i can find all the parts for 300 bucks, im going to order it all today. i think it is right about in that price range anyways. so im going to go hunt for some parts.

[big_rig]

do you guys think saving a few bucks on a bumper that is not reconditioned will end up costing me more when i have it painted in the long run? because i found a primer'd bumper that is perfect, just waiting for paint for $240 shipped. here are the two links i found. any and all input is very much so appreciated.

[big_rig]
