well, you'll need to take two things into mind.

first, you'll need the gray plastic bit for the bottom, i dunno what costs.

second, the tailpipes on a 2.2 are slightly higher than on a 2.4, so the stock tailpipe would maybe rub... at the least you'd need different hangers, perhaps some custom exhaust work.

i'm 99% that it's from a 2.4, IIRC, the 2.2 bumper covers have a cutout for the tailpipe. hold, please.

I think both the SS and SS/SC have the same rear bumper short of the lower ground effects. (I could be wrong)

That looks like an SS/SC bumper to me because of the middle peace sticking down. Looks like it would line up perfectly with how the rear bumper on the SS/SC is.

it seems like a decent price. painting that will be a few hundred bucks unless you have a hookup though. might look funny without the lower valance, but ya it's probably worth it.

Never done the rear bumper, sorry.

I can't imagine it being all that difficult though.

you are wrong, they are different bumpers.

you can not use the rear lip from an SC on a 2.4 bumper.

If my ARK N2 cat-back can clear my 2.4 rear bumper with no problems whatsoever, then im sure he'll be fine, lol.

Actually they are the same....only difference is the 2.4 doesn't have the clips to hold the rear lip. So you can't put the lip on unless you modify it a little...or super glue it =P jk jk
