Default Vis Z-Speed Rear w/ CF - anyone seen one installed?

I got rear-ended in traffic yesterday, so am using this as an "opportunity" to change my rear bumper cover. I really like the VIS Z-Speed as below, but I can't find a picture of one installed. I am not upgrading the front or sides at this time. Anyone know how low this is installed? Will it change the rear so much that it no longer matches the factor rockers?

i think chargespeed rear and stock sides will be just fine. the z's rear is pretty high compared to front and sides so with this bumper it will probably even out. but my suggestion is if your gona get a replica maybe get one from the vendors on here

Holy CRAP that looks sweet! How was fitment? Looks good now, but did it take a lot of tweaking to make it look right?

Yes, VIS is a replica. It's a Chargespeed design, and VIS copies and mass produces it, making it a replica.

The authentic will fit better.

For what it's worth, this VIS replica fits very well.

Thanks. It was from VIS. Not perfect fitment. But for the price, it was pretty good. I have heard that authentic stuff doesn't always fit too well either.

Now for the sideskirts, fitment there was a totally different story lol. They were pretty crappy. But they are amuse replicas.

Am I missing something? The Chargespeed looks like the carbon piece bolts on, while the VIS replica is more of a all-in-one deal. Yes? No?

abushong504 and vTxSpikeZ - do you have dragging issues you didn't have before? Like bottoming out on driveways and such? My shop thinks it will add too much to the length, but I just don't see it.

You will be fine- The rear doesn't drag in the least bit, even on lowered cars- you can kinda tell in the pic below

.. and yeah, the authentic has a bolt-on carbon shroud, whereas the replica's is molded in.
