Can you get a picture of the Rear bumper mounted??
I am tring to picture it but can't.
ISn't our OEM bumper one piece up to the rear light combos???
SO does the Bumper need to be cut to mount the rear bu mper??
also the Two holes on the bumper, where I believe the reflectors
go, What are the holes for??? or are they just open?? it doesn't
look like the reflectors would fit in them..
nevertheless a picture of the rear bumper mounted wold be nice.

the OEM bumper stops rite underneath the trunk lock cylinder. so no it doesn't extend all the way to the rear brake lights
no cutting at all should be required. as w/ all kits, some slight sanding etc, but no cutting. simply bolt on (unless ur getting it molded...)
there r 4 sets holes in the rear bumper...
- one's for the lower reflectors, on either side of the license plate holder. these also have the white reverse lights...
- there is a hole to mount the license plate...
- another hole rite above the license plate mount, which id imagine is for the license plate illumination lites (never really checked to c if FDs have those...)
- and the last light, which i presume ur askin about is the one wayy toward the far bottom corners/edges of the bumper, correct?
those are actually brake ducts....a lot of c west bumpers dont come w/ them pre-cut, but it is actually part of the c-west rear bumper design. ppl just get 'em covered w/ mesh...and they are supposed to "ventilate" for ur brakes & rotors i guess. although they may be functional, id say almost all body kits are more for asthetics than anything else....
i actually took a pic of that specifically to show that they're precut..save ya the work...
here's the best pic i got of it mounted. un4tunately, this pic doesn't have that brake duct in it, since my friend didnt get his cut out...

FDnewbie..
Am I the only one that see's this..???
But the picture of the rear bumper that you posted.
can't be the Same bumper that is in the picture with it
mounted.
Just look at where the LIcense plate would go. IT isn't the
same.. Do you think they sent you the wrong bumper or
something???
Seriously Just look..

FD THREE S & 93 R1 THANK YOUUUU!!!!!!!
Man...real nice save guys. U have no IDEA how much i appreciate it. I never really realized the rear bumper was diff...and prob would never have, cuz i never got a chance to even mount 'em.
I woulda felt sooo bad if i had sold 'em like that to someone else, and they got stuck w/ the wrong bumper...damn...good catch guys.
Sorry it took so long to reply, but we had major power loss issues over here cuz of the hurricane...go figure
Good news is i just spoke to the shop, and they got a rear bumper packaged and waitin to be sent off to me 1st thing monday morning...so the sale is still on. w/ the REAL rear bumper hehe
it should be here by the end of the week...and of course ill make sure i post a pic of it when it comes in =)
hopefully that's the last concern...
considern everything else is in order, anyone still interested in the whole kit or the front & rear, PM me. (got an offer on the sideskirts which ill take if i dont get an offer on the whole kit..)
