Rear bumper swap coupe to sedan
I've been trying to search for threads related to installing coupe rear bumper and trunk to a sedan. I know some work is involved. Curious of how much. Could anyone link threads of who has done it. before

There was one guy with a white ss sedan that did it. But he put an ugly wing on it.

That was just the lip. Not the whole bumper.

It would take a lot of work to do a rear end conversion. A lot of body work.

Requires more than just trimming. You have to cut a small section from both ends and then put the lip back together.

Nope. The lip hangs off about an inch on both sides. Should have made a how to when I did mine.

That looks custom, not a swap. Trunk looks to be a sedan trunk with some work done to accept tails.
