Rear bumper options.....stock vs. kit
Well, i have the sudden need for a new rear bumper, coming home from the track i was rear ended and it mashed my rear bumper and left side of my exhaust.
Rather than replace the bumper with a stock one, it might be a good time to look at a nicer aftermarket option........
Heres what i want/need
Nothing to wild, i like the clean lines of the Z and would like to keep it that way.
Needs to be a full bumper replacement
Would like something that is similair in cost to a stock replacement.
and it should be durable, i often track my car so nothing that cant hold up to 120mph speeds anc rough driving.
Please post pics if you can.
The person who rear ended me, is actually a friend of mine, who may pay for the damages out of pocket, So I am trying to keep the costs low.
Thanks in advance for the help

I would go with the Vertex, or possibly Amuse rear....but like BAT said...what front and sides do you have...
Having a stock front and sides with a aftermarket rear will not look that good.

It's going to be tough finding an aftermarket replacement at around the same price as OEM one. If I remember correctly, the stock rear bumper cost around $240.

I agree with Dank311, the Vertex looks like stock. In fact the whole kit is pretty close to stock looking. The difference is that it has been stretched towards the ground a little. Very subtle (if that is what you are looking for).
