tell me what you guys think, I havent seen this on the forums yet. Its the ms-style rear molded to my stock bumper with the parts around the exhaust painted black and the rest of it the same color as my car. the difference from others ive seen would be that the center is painted the color of the car rather than black

 

????It's defintely different. Is that a replacement bumper as some of the MS replica do a complete bumper replacement. Actually I remember seeing some pics of an SS that had the rear completely the color of the car.

 

heres another.. look closely and youll see my bro's sti in the garage in this one unfortunately i just picked up my car this morning from the body shop and now its goin back in the garage for several more months let me know what you guys think

 

no its a stock bumper with a fiberglass mazdaspeed-style lower piece molded into the rear bumper

 

i have a question though, the stock exhaust hangs down considerably lower than the bumper, i plan on gettin exhaust but my question is will the new exhaust (most likely greddy) sit higher so the bumper hids the mufflers?

 

that last pics looks better. are you getting the skirts and front as well?

 

Did a body shop do the work? I'm looking to do some custom work also. Looks good man

 

very different but not to sure if its the pics or does the part above the left exhaust look a little choppy?

 

It does look kinda funky at the top portion above the left exhaust in the first picture. See if you can take a clear picture.

 

yea i know i looked at it after i posted a pic its just an illusion from a drop of water sittin on top heres a better pic

 

yea the body shop did do the work, and yes i plan to get the front and sides but i did this first because i back right into a curb and the bottom piece cracked can anyone answer my question about the exhaust though?

 

looks good to me

 

the color is off, the center has to be painted gray too

 

the color is actually right on, i wish i could get some better pics for everyone these are from my cell phone he did an excellent job on it im very happy with the results

 

If you'd read his post he is trying a different look of having the center match his body paint.

 

Is that the factory exhaust? Maybe either bigger tips or an aftermarket would make it look nicer back there?

 

Its different. You might as well paint the entire rear.

 

True.

 

Extreme Dimensions offers a complete rear bumper replacement similar to the MS style rear... so it would appear to be molded.

the whole bumper was painted silver then the black parts were added on top and finished off w a clearcoat, just somethin i havent seen here on the forums so i figured id post

 

neat idea, but I think with the center part body color it makes the back end look way to big/tall. i think the darker color on both the MS and stock helps break the lines of the car up.

original though!
