Can it be done??

I've searched, but couldn't find an answer. I have a sedan and I want to change the back end of the car. I was thinking of just adding a lip to it, either the Rk Sports (which I know can be done) or the SS rear lip. I know that several people on here have added the SS rear lip to their 2.4 and 2.0 sedans. My main question is, can I do it to my 2.2? The rear bumpers are different, so for those who are gonna say they aren't they are. Has anyone added the SS rear lip to their 2.2 sedan? Again I know a few coupes have done it successfully, but I have yet to find a sedan who has done it.


Cliffy--> Can I put an SS rear lip on my 2.2 sedan rear bumper?

I don't, but it's in one of the threads about a TC sedan. Some guy with a white one is currently putting an SS rear lip from the coupe. He has it mounted and all.

I wish I could help you out more with a link, but I can guarantee you it has been done!

I haven't seen it either, but the 2.2 coupes have done it and it doesn't look bad at all. I just don't want to do it and it turns out like ass having me buy another rear bumper.

It can be done on a 2.4 but not sure if on a 2.2 sedan. The curves may be the same but dunno.

I'm trying to do it to my 2.2 sedan. I may just buy the lip and see if it works.

I attempted the it on my 2.2 Coupe and it overhanged on the sides that I just got the SS bumper instead but I know some people who have just just down the lip on the sides to match up.

I can confirm the over hang, it was pretty bad. It took 5 hours of labour just to get it to it flush with the rear of the wheel wells.
