dumb question maybe :/

i was wondering if a lip from the ss/sc/tc attach to the base model rear bumper? if so this would save me close to 250 bucks on a whole new bumper, thanks

it does not fit unless you cut slits into them I think. I did that long ago on my LS model and just got the SS bumper. Much easier

They have ss bumpers on ebay for $300... I saw them last week check there dude. I got mine for $175 on eBay off a wrecked ss and I got it fixed and painted since it was broken on the side

FYI
Just remember that the rear lip doesn't fit a sedan without shrinking it by one inch on each side so it lines up (sedan bumper is shorter than the coupe)

So the SS/TC rear lip DOES fit on the LT rear bumper? Can you tell a difference?
I have the SS front bumper/side skirts but if the lip fits on the LT, it'll save me $400 from having to buy the SS rear...
