Pictures of Stock Rear Bumpers without Lower Plastic

Hey gang, was just wondering if anyone has any pics of an 8 with stock bumper without the lower plastic piece. I'm kind of digging it, especially since I'm going for the single muffler soon, but was curious if anyone had side shots and other shots so I could compare. Here's the only two I have.

Um no. Do not go with this look. It does not flow well with the car.

:[ +1 will all the replies. The only pictures you'd probably find, and that's IF you find them, would be someone installing something. I don't think anyone here would do that lol.. atleast I've never seen that before.

That must be a Japanese kit - I'm pretty sure (but as always, open to correction) that the back bumper is ONE PIECE. Top color section and bottom black bit are one solid item. The only part that comes off is the surround for each tip.

May be completely wrong, but don't think so.....

This is true. It is a one piece bumper. In order to take of the fau grill piece, it must be cut off.

Really? F that then. :/ I thought it was just bolted on or something. I just wish it flowed a bit nicer is all, kinda like the RX7. Thats about my only dislike about my 8...lol but at least it's not as bulky as the new RX8.

lol. What if you did a cut along the lower plastic so that you only leave a sort of...small plastic lip around the bumper and just have the rest all gone..? So it's sort of like a plastic lining around the bottom of the bumper. I think that'd look really nice now that I think of it. Think it could be done? :x
