Default Rear Bumper Insert?

What is black part above the exhaust called?
I would assume this was a cut bumper with something covering it.

Where could you get this?

FRPP sells them, thanks for the actual size pic, it helps narrow it down

Sorry, just copy and pasted the link. Are they made for attaching to cut bumpers?

What is the actual name of them?

not a fan of the polished trim. I wonder if there are other options or if FRPP sells that piece separately.

That's seems kind of pricey for stick on trim. Heck, you could go to an auto parts store or Wal-Mart and get chrome trim and paint it what ever color you like.

I would much rather just have the bumper cut with no insert than put a chrome piece on. Ugggly. I think I want those FRPP ones but I do not think they sell them separately. Unless they have them without advertising.

I wanted to post in the WTB section but am under the 50 post limit. I think the only way I am going to get these Exhaust trims are if someone switched to the GT bumper after they installed the FRPP exhaust.

So here is my cry for help, I am looking to purchase the FRPP Rear Fascia Trim that comes with the dual exhaust kit. If anyone has the set sitting around I would like to take them off you hands for a price. Thanks!

I agree. I like the look of the V6 cut bumper and if done correctly, no one can tell it was not a factory job.
