Like the title says, I recently finished my dual side exhaust and now i need to figure out what to do with the rear bumper. My buddy says he can fill it in. But i was thinkin aftermarket. OR maybe cutting out that whole entire rear section where the grill is. Does anyone have any ideas?


Somethin like this except someone do a better photoshop....paint sucks. lol

Another idea, a LS bumper with a lip..

Or a SS rear bumper but removing the black section and putting something in its place... hmmm too many choices..

Sry to spoil everyones fun, but i think i came to a conclusion already on what rear bumper i want... the RKSport G5 rear lower valance.


Thanks Moza13-

Also I have been checkin out the Grip side skirts to see if my tips will fit in their hole.. lol.. sound bad...

 

Props to you for going with something different.
I would take off the rear and fill it in. Perhaps find a damaged rear skirt, cut it out and mold it in.

 

That exhaust freakin' rules. Good job. Thought of aftermarket for the rear? I'm sure Gravana or someone could make you one without a cutout. +rep for kickass exhaust.

 

Thanks man, there was a lot of time and aggravation invested in that, luckily i have a supportive g/f that kept me going at it, not letting me give up.

My thought for an aftermarket rear is the RKSport G5 rear lower valance. Its just a lip.. so it should be a piece of cake..


Thanks Moza13-

just roll the bumper

 

lol... wut?

 

Here is something I thought would look kinda cool.



The RKSport rear lower valance, with Corvette style reverse lights. Red out the original reverse lights and wire down to the new reverse lights, wire up the old reverse lights to come on when the outer taillights light up. Of course the lower valance would be color matched, not the gray I have above, I just did a quick chop.

 

Nice man. Looks like more work then I wanted though... Maybe that can be a "winter" project. lol. Damn... the more i look at it... the more i like it.... Too bad i couldnt get it color matched so I could really see what it looked like.... Also where did u get that pix of the rksport lower valance? I have been trying to find a decent shot of it all night to get a good idea of exactly what it looks like.

just rol the bumper under man,all you do is cut out the bumper so its even where you like it and roll the rest under so it looks smooth

 

I took the valance off of the picture you posted above from Moza13.

 

Hmm... different and cheaper lol.


OoO looks different 4 some reason. lol

later

 

go with the RK sport lower valence man i like that style personally.. and with the dual side exhaust it woulud finish the look

 

see hoe this guy cut out the center of the bumper and just roller it under? look at a stock srt4 now

 

I wonder how he kept it inplace.... That might be a temporary fix until i get the RKSport rear valance... thanks intensess and elecblue

Copied from your other side exhaust thread

 

Yea man i saw that. My buddy works at a body shop and said he could fill it in, but like i said in my other thread, im not that crazy for the stock ss/sc lip....

 

well you know as well as i do you can sell your rear bumper easy if you wanted,

whatever you do make sure its painted the same color of your car when done

sell it , get a kit paint it g2g

 

All those 2.2 guys want our ass's... lol. Whats nice with the RKSport rear valance that im lookin at is it just replaces the stock ss/sc lip. So i could sell the lip and slap on the RKSport lip and then use the money from selling the ss/sc lip to paint the new RKSport lip... or I could be ghetto and leave it primer.... lol

Chevrolet should have done that in the first place, I don't like the lighting setup that they chose for production.

 

I wonder if that set up would help me anymore at night when trying to back up in the dark with 20% tint and no street lights.. lol. Or just hook up a couple of those 100000 candle watt lights to the rear bumper and use those to light things up... lol

later

 

looks good! i would love to have a piece of your ass

 

For the right amount I will sell it to anyone lol.... But seriously I will be selling my SS/SC lower valance if anyone is interested.

later

 

that G5 rear lip is so ****** sick!! i will definatly be putting that on my car!! next paycheck lol!!

So that will for sure fit the cobalt right?!

 

Yea man, as far as I know. Ill let u find out in a week.
