Default Frustrated - Rear Fascia

I can't find a single rear bumper that I like. It's getting to be very frustrating. None of them come as low as the front bumper/side skirts of my car, giving it an awkward and unbalanced look. I looked on the full list on mr. bodykit and they all seem to be this way. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd be extremely grateful!

I've also been wondering if a carbon fiber hood would go with the scheme of my car. Thanks for any and all advice you can give me







Thanks again!

There is only one bumper I seen that hangs loooow like that. And thats the one that was on the Air Ride TechnologiesMustang used in the Forza TV show. From the looks of it...thats a custom sheet metal job. Soooo..yeah that pretty much doesnt help atall lol sorry.

If you are up for some work and a little money go with the gt rear bumper with a street scenes lip. Get the lip riveted and molded in before you paint them. The 3m double stick tape = gaps on that setup. If you want it appearing lower and matched see if you can lower it more with coilovers you should be able to tuck tire a little bit. Depending on where you life that is potentially a bad idea. But it would look damn sweet.

Thanks, I'll definitely look into it. I mean, I could lower the back more, I'd just lose the classic mustang stance. Which I kind of abandon with this front bumper anyway haha. We'll see how it looks with just the GT bumper once the exhaust is in

Use the cervini rear bumper and get your body man to custom cut the cutouts for the exhaust.

That's not a bad idea. I'll call them tomorrow and see if they'll part that piece out. It doesn't look too bad in the pictures

I'm about to find someone to custom mold me a bumper! This is ridiculous. Maybe it won't look too bad once I get the sideskirts and throw any bumper on there. This is certainly nerve-racking.
