Okay, so unfortunately, two days ago I smacked up my Z. I was pulling the car into my shop, to store it overnight so that I wouldn't have to drive it home in the bad snowstorm that had already covered the ground in all that white stuff. It was also so that I could go out later on without having to worry about driving.

It seems that I would've been better off driving it home first.

I pulled out of the parking space I parked it in, and suddenly at about 2 mph I lost control of the vehicle on the downward slope that leads into my shop. The tires lost all of their traction, and as much as I tried to turn out of it, I was sent sliding slowly into the tire of my dad's Ford Excursion.

Yes, I hit the tire. There's no scratches on the Excursion whatsoever, but the tire alone (which happens to be a very beefy ProComp) completely destroyed my driver's fender, and left my front bumper with paint spidering.

Luckily, I didn't do any damage to the framework, since there is no increased gap between the body panels. It's all slight cosmetic damage. The fender is being repaired (originally I wanted to replace it but because it's PPW the body shop suggested repairing it so that they wouldn't have to blend into the door) and I ordered a STILLEN Series 2 front fascia that will replace the stock bumper.

The STILLEN bumper lines up with factory ground clearance, which I am happy about. But, I'd really like to get a rear bumper, too. The problem is that most rear bumpers lower the ground clearance.

Does anyone know of any rear bumpers (not rear add-on lips or valances) that don't attempt to lower the car? Just for style purposes.

 

Subscribing. I plan on getting the Stillen S2 front and am wondering what rear to get.

 

I'm aiming for a look that says:

"I'm not stock but I'm not overdone looking like the rest of them."

Let's see what kind of responses we get.

 

IMO Chargespeed makes one of the best looking rear bumpers. There is a thread on a replica on here for just over $400.

 

+1.....

theres alot of them out here man....

 

That's my favorite rear bumper... But I question the bumper on dark colored cars...

 

i think it looks best on white and silver

 

Does the chargespeed stay even with the body line like the Stillen V2 does? I would be worried about un-even lines.

 

INGS+1 rear is pretty cool

 

agreed.... can't find a replica thats not fiberglass though...

 

I'd definitely do the chargespeed if it lined up correctly. I'd paint the diffuser in silver, not carbon black... That'd match the wheels and door handles. Sick!
