Rear bumper/cover replacement
Looks like I screwed up. I havn't even had my stang for a month and I backed into the freezer in the garage today. Theres a minor crease in the rear bumper cover but the important part is it took a nice chunk of the paint off. Now I need some info.
First of all terminology. Is there a bumper, and a bumper cover, or are they integrated? What's the deal. I see them referred to differently.
If there is a mounted bumper underneath the cover, will the GT bumper cover fit my V6 bumper? I'm talking direct bolt on, no modding needed. I wanted to add duel exhaust but this is just going to speed that process along.
If you have pics or instructions or advice please post.

RE: Rear bumper/cover replacement
the paint on these cars are so horrible in my opinion that if u were to touch it with ur bare hand the paint would come off.... they LOVE to strip paint even w/ like a 1 mph tap.....

RE: Rear bumper/cover replacement
Thank you very much. You guys anwered my question perfectly. I was so pissed off and tired last night I should have mentioned I seen the GT bumper cover on ebay from Cascotech and was wondering if it would fit. Now that that has been confirmed, anyone have instructions or pics of the uninstall/install?
