Look at it as an excuse to upgrade to the GT-CS rear bumper. Thats what I would do. But then again, thats my fancy.

150 out of pocket for a new rear end? why not?
Where did you find it for 150? If that's true I'm going to order it right when you reply.. But I feel like I'm missing something..

Like they say, the cheap always turns out expensive in the long run. Accept nothing but a new part.

Costs me $569 to replace my rear cover with a new one and have it painted. Installed it myself. I went with the stock GT as I prefer the way it looks over the others.

Don't waste time and money trying to fix the old one.

Bumper replacement is cheap, Painting it can be expensive.

*** $150 being the difference in cost between the GT/CS and stock GT bumper cover. If shell cover the cost of the stock GT piece, you throw in $150 and youve got the GT/CS rear. Might be a lil more for paint tho too if you get the diffuser left black

Ah man I knew I got too excited. I've been looking for a GT5 rear end for my car forever because I love the diffuser, but everyplace is expensive.
