MS rear bumper

does anyone know what it would look like with just a MS rear bumper? i need a new bumper now that my exhaust is too big to put the exhaust finishers back on. i'm going to go with the MS kit but i can only afford the rear for now. should i just keep it how it is and get the whole kit later or get the rear for now and the rest later? pics would be appreciated.

What kind of exhaust did you get? I haven't seen one yet that won't fit with the stock bumper unless it's a race pipe. I haven't seen how those fit yet. Most people just trim down the inside portion of the exhaust shrouds.

CarAndDriver wanted to trade his MS rear for a stock some time ago: he has some pics in his thread.

i got the Agency Power system with the Titanium tips. the bottom of the tips were scraping while i was trying to put those pieces back on. plus it also doesn't help that i broke several of the plastic tabs that attach them to the bumper. here are some pics of the exhaust with the exhaust finishers test fitted(right now the exhaust finishers are taken off):

notice how the little rivet on the bottom rubs the plastic

notice the gaps from the tips pushing the plastic pieces down

I stand corrected.

it does have a race pipe(no cat), but it is not yet installed til my warranty is over. its just that the tips are too large and they sit a little low.
