Car Lovin Criminals New rear bumper

Yes the name of the company is Car Lovin Criminals

Not sure how long this has been out but I have never seen it before today. For a while now I have been thinking of a custom rear that combines the MS rear diffuser and the INGS rear pieces. Looks like someone beat me to it. Kind of. The diffuser piece seems to be a combo of the MS and Fabulous.

something about that doesn't look right to me.

the center section curves while the sides are sharp. the whole between the tips section seems kinda plain. those wide fins on the inside of the tips don't help that perception.

the fake vent on the side is a no-no.

i might be too picky. lol

I definitely see some similarities from an MS replica, Ings+1, and Fabulous.
Put them all together and you get what Ngo said above...
It's a relatively good idea but it's a bit too busy and the indents (fake vents) just don't look good at all.

Yep I agree. I am not liking how bulky it is by the exhaust either. The more I look at the diffuser the more I think it modeled after the Fabulous rear.

^ Agreed. Those side vent things need to go. I am kind of feelin' that Fabulous rear end. I wonder if it is super expensive.

Hmm... Seeing the top pic of just the bumper I thought it looked pretty good, but for some reason it doesn't look as good when it is actually on the car.... Not bad though

I did a photo chop with the MS diffuser a while ago. Let me see if I can find it.

notice how the fabulous diffuser fins are sharper and more defined, not just a round curve. also the bottom doesn't just round out it flattens out like the sides. it also makes use of the center section with the rear fog light.

I love the design of the fabulous rear. my only dislike about it is that it isn't low enough.
