Default New bumper installed (PICS)

Just picked up my car today from the body shop. I got a GT take off rear bumper and had the body shop paint it and install it and align my FRPP exhaust to fit it, they did an awesome job, now a few more things and I will be good to go.

(yes I need to replace my mud flaps now - anyone want to buy GT500 mud flaps cut to fit a V6 bumper?)

Looks great! Did you have duals before? how do you like the sound now?

I just ordered my FRPP today so I'm hoping the weather starts to warm up so I can put in on along w/ the GT take off bumper.
I'm going to need new mudflaps as well

Nice! I just recieved my bumper and my FRPP dual kit this week! Unfortunately, I'll be out of town for the weekend so I can't work on my car until next weekend...

btw, what else you got planned?

Yea I had the duals a while, now that they dont lay against the metal FRPP flange like they did before the bumper install, they sound even better. The guy at the body shop when he pulled my car around thought it was a GT, he said he even revved it up because he liked how it sounded.

Cool, I have a pair of GT take offs with but just the single on now. Worst case I figured I would sell the FRPP mufflers if I didn't like them and use the money towards wheels/tires. I really didn't think that was going to be the case though. I do love those Razors!
p.s. don't forget VMP for the tune/CAI, I've been totally pleased as have many others.

More importantly you don't here anythng bad about either of these guys. Any issues are quickly resolved so you don't have to worry about that no matter who you go with.

How much clearance do you have from the top of the muffler to the bottom of the bumper cutout... you know, at the 12:00 position on the cutout. I just put my FRPP duals on, and I can stick my index finger between the top of the muffler and the bumper, if I push real hard. Wondering how much clearance you have. You can't adjust the hangers, so how did they adjust yours?? Bend the hangers on the muffler?
