Ive been debating on whether on not to upgrade my exhaust to either a dual magnaflow exhaust or just a single. I was wondering if anyone out there just had their rear bumpers trimmed to accomidate the second outlet instead of buying a whole new bumper cover. If so how much should I expect to spend at a body shop to get the bumper trimmed?

mine cost me about 750 parts and installation and i had them cut the bumper, but i plan on adding a gt bumper after painting my side skirts, only because i wanna even out the back withthe side skirts and chin spoiler, still looks sweet tho.....many ask if its a v8.
it looks nice see below sounds even sweeter..... i reccomend doing the gt bumper and the exhaust at the same time you might be able to away with it for around 1000 to 1200........depends on where you find the bumper and in what condition.

I'm lazy, still haven't cut mine yet. I think I'll just wait to get my GT bumper. Sometime........

phunnyguy

im including installation, paint for a gt bumper, the gt bumper and the exhaust for between 1000 to 1200. got my pipes installed and paid for em they way it is now for 750.....i was including all of the stuff, paint is the most expensive, and there are no gurantees your oem take off part will be scratch free i have looked high and low, if you dont have to pay for the bumper to be painted you probabaly could get away with the pipes and bumper installation (including the price for the pipes) for prolly around 800. the placei go may be alittle high but they do awesome work.......watch pimp my ride to see their work......

phunnyguy

unless your installing them yourself you have include labor...i can build a computer but not so good with a car yet......

phunnyguy

most probably wont charge you to cut the bumper its just factord into the labor, the job took about 2 to 4 hours but i swithced my side skirts too at the time......had to pay to have them painted too.....

Diversified and v6mustangstuff or a guy that I know sells them so if you in to getting you head ripped off for PAINT or THE BUMPER. Buy a take off and save hundreds if you want the gt bumper.

OR cut it yourself or have the muffler shop do it for you......

I live in Walnut (borders diamond bar, pomona, and west covina) and work in San Dimas. Haven't registered for the black mustang registry, though. Where in the valley? You should come with afixer, pat6674u, v6mustangknight, and myself the next time we organize a meet and greet! And that means you too Soldshort!
