I want to get rid of the rear bumper!

[abolfaz]

Can anybody give me a step by step breakdown of what it takes to remove the rear bumper including finding where you get the fillers that go where the bumper brackets used to?

Thanks
Mike

I know, I saw that, but what about the fillers?

easy , tigers !!!

we are working on this with HP Performance, FLA. Soon there will be a new grill available, that covers the back area fully with the central mesh, eliminating the extensions for the bumpers. Wait for news from Piko or me... Will be cool, and fully reversable. That, we think is key "!

That filler piece looks great but I think it needs to be vented to let the heat out.
I have finally got mine dialed in and all aligned but don't like the unfinnished look of the bumper brackets. If someone can make that lower pannel look like the vented upper I would be very intrested.

Sorry not so much better, but you may see the "carbon"look.

While your making a custom real fascia, why not a custom exhaust with the two exits closer to the outside of the car rather than the center. Straighter plumbing less restriction.

Now that is the best solution for a car without the bumper. Better cooling, exhaust flow and sound, lighter weight too.

except more effort should be made to match the factory mesh. Good solution IMO.
