Default Rear Bumper Options

I want to add dual exhaust to my car and need to add a dual exhaust rear bumper first. Besides the factory gt piece, what options are there out there? Anyone have any experience? I'd like a clean understated look that would complement my cervini concept hood. My car is a black '08.

What looks cool and not all boy racery? You guys did a good job referring the concept hood so I thought I'd give this a try.

The CS/GT rear Bumper may look good. I don't know what the cervini concept hood looks like.

GT/CS is one of the best looking rears except for black cars. The valence just doesnt stand out much so it looks close to stock gt. It will still look good though.

As far as I know (from reputable manufacturers; read- not ebay):

1) GT/CS rear bumper (aka GT500- painted differently)
2) SS rear bumper A (side exits)
3) SS rear bumper B (center exit)
4) SS rear addon
5) 3dCarbon rear addon
6) Saleen rear bumper kit
7) Steeda rear Racer bumper
8) Steeda rear addon
9) Xenon rear bumper

I have the Xenon bumper on my car... I like the clean lines it has but I think Im going to switch to the GT500 bumper this winter to give it a little more of the SuperSnake look.

Are there any differences between the V6 and GT's that would prevent a GT500 or CS rear bumpers from fitting a V6? (other that the exhaust of course).

I forgot to add the 10) Roush rear bumper kit.

There's no difference when installing a Pony or GT rear bumper. They bolt on to the same locations with the same hardware.

all rear bumper from the factory are mounted to the car the same way.

here's mine:



I ordered the GT/CS kit from Ford and the bumper that comes in that kit is the same as a GT500 it just depends on how you paint it. I painted mine like a GT500, and not a CS with the paint that goes all the way down behind the rear tires.
this'll help with the install: https://mustangforums.com/forum/s197...r-bumpers.html

Thanks for all the input. I think the GT500/CS route is the way to go!
