gtr rear bumper 1.2?,

I know some... plenty of you have 2nd thoughts about the gtr rear bumper, well, with some minor mods here and there the bumper takes a whole new spin, what do you guys think?, might not be for all as not everyone is into aggressive modding,

I still debating if I should go ahead a fab the diffuser for my bumper, time will tell I guess.

I just got a chubby!!! Can you shave the sides to bring them slightly higher to be level with the side skits!!! That looks hot and less bulky.

v1.2

Is there a need for a v1.3? I like it. I have to agree it is a little high however the flow of the side skirts to the rear valance works great. Again, v1.2 needs to stay, no need to go further.

MAX2DAMAX: Would you mind posting your wheel size specs including offset, tire size specs, and what suspension you are on?? Thanks man, ride looks awesome... I like the diffuser. Any thoughts on offering a kit for lowered 07-08 that does not require any alterations?

How about putting more shape in the rear. check out the 6.5gen rear bumper. see the lines and shape.

YES!!!!: A CF trunk!!!

On topic: The diffuser looks good, but it really needs to be raised some, IMHO.

My main complaint about the rear is that it strikes me as too bulky-looking on an already bulky-looking OEM rear. I like your diffuser idea as it slims out the rear more than your original rear. However, it still hangs too low in my opinion. I think the side of the should flow upward more and of you can raise the rear exhaust openings I think it will be much more attractive. It may require people to modify their exhaust but most people with body kits like this have modded exhausts or they shouldnt mind slight customization of the exhaust in order to fit the muffler tips into the raised openings.
