Default 6le Bumper with Diffusers...FINALLY.

Crappy pix but wanted to show you guys. I had personally spent countless hours trying to find installed pictures before going through with this and want others to be able to see what I couldn't. I just had to go with my gut and pray everything looked like I hoped it would. Let me know what you think, overall I'm happy with it. Side shots are showing the stance (just installed Viking coilovers for my upcoming auto x debut). 3rd pic is an exhaust mock up, getting the tips done next month.

Haha bummer...you can see the fins from the side pic, and also how much lower the bumper is than factory. It really makes a huge difference. I will say oem bumpers look weird to me now...just how high they are off the ground

Pics are really terrible for showing us the rear bumper detail. Try using less camera effects and better angles please.

I agree, that's why I said "Crappy pix" before I even started positing. Not sure why this is such a shocker that I've had to hear it from every person lol. The exhaust isn't done so there's a huge notch in the bumper, deff looks like it's missing something and I'm not going all out with pictures until I'm happy with it. Until then, enjoy being disappointed I guess ha

I've always wondered what this looks like, in for better pictures for sure. does it have to be a CME exhaust to work? I have a 2otl currently and wouldn't want to change that. these are duraflex too correct?

Stupid question, is that a full modded bumper or OEM bumper just modified?

It's an aftermarket bumper sold by 6LE. I think they may have stopped selling them...

Love the CME, I've been looking for that setup for a year now. Your car looks great also.

Yea these are duraflex, and you can have the exhaust exit anywhere you want. I just notched it in the center because I wanted to install my CME that's been in the garage for almost a year.

any issues with it? I've heard bad things about duraflex and have been skeptical about this bumper because of that. wonder what the 2otl exhaust would look with this....

It's not perfect, the body guy I used spent a lot of time on it trying to get it to fit as good as it does. im not building a show car so the imperfections that are there are livable. I think the unique factor was worth it n no one will notice when I'm zipping around VIR this spring I love it
