Rear Bumper Suggestions?

Ok, so I have been contemplating buying this rear bumper for my Maxima.

http://www.carbodykits.com/images/T/...r-Poly-FRP.jpg

Does anyone have that bumper on there car?

Its a little flashy but it is either that or the Stillen rear valance. Tell me what you guys think.

Here is a picture of my car with the side skirts, lowering it this week..

TJ, *suggestions.

But on topic, too flashy for my taste. I think since the side skirts sit a bit low, the Stillen Classic rear lip would set it off nice and clean. The AE replica would be too high up.

It looks like the lines would work with those skirts. In full disclosure, I'm not liking the skirts at all, but the point is to continuity. And that particular bumper skin looks unique enough without going over the top.

How do the exhaust tips integrate with this thing? I don't see that in the pic.



Man, don't you just hate it when you leave a spelling error in a thread title? Drives me nuts when I do it. Fortunately, there are old forum members here eager to mock you for those mistakes, with tough love to insure it doesn't happen again.

Yup, I hate spelling something wrong I didn't even look at it after I typed it. But anyways, I have two sets of skirts the 5.5 gen skirts and those Sorona's. I am kinda leaning toward the stillen rear lip, I think it will flow well with both sets of skirts.

The stillen products are bulbous, compared to the 5.5 OEM side-skirts. Those would probably work with the Sorona sides better.

However, the AE front and rear lips compliment the 5.5 skirts quite well. That's always an option for you, since you have the 5.0 gen front bumper.

Yea I do have the AE rear lip, well two parts of it my dog decided he wanted a new chew toy with one of the pieces. I have been looking and trying to get that middle piece to the AE rear lip.
