Default Boy Racer Rear Bumper only?

Hello,

Is it possible to put on the rear bumper of the boy racer kit without the rest of the kit? I like the look of the rear bumper, but I don't want fender flares or side skirts. has anyone done this? Got any pics? Or will it just look like ***?

Thanks for the help,
Frank

It's possible, but from what I understand it might look awkward.

Look:


On a stock V6, this can look very odd. The stock V6 skirts wont complete the contour lines. It will look especially wierd on a stang that's not black. Doubt anyone here's done it, but I'd highly recommend against it.

The boy racer kit is designed to work only with all pieces together.
About 6 months ago I wanted to get their front bumper and had a chance to see it in person at a local dealer.
Both bumpers stick out about 1/4 of an inch on each side. That's why they have the fender flares and side skirts to complete the all around trim.
I guess you could bend it/cut it or something to make it fit. Not worth it IMO.
I think street scene has a similar one though.

How's the quality and fit on these kits anyway? I saw a Xenon kit in person, multiple times, and they dont seem to be a flush as they should. Not to mention the quality is very poor.

the 3d carbon bumper looks a lot like the gt500 bumper. you might want to look into that, that one does fit properly

Wow, that goes nicely with the stock V6 skirt.

1. When are you going to get dual exhaust?

2. What died on your driveway?
