Default Need pic of RMM rear bumper w/ L-tuned sides?

Does anyone have a good picture of a GS with a RMM rear bumper and L-tuned sides?

Thanks

check this thread for pics: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hreadid=138228

I believe V8_Aristo is using the LTuned sides with either the RMM or Explosion rear. The RMM/Explosion rear look the same. The only difference is the material. Polyurethane vs. fiberglass respectively.

Is this spot I circled below the only thing that's different on the RMM bumper than stock? Those are the only lines that look diff. to me.

Are the exhaust cutouts also same size?

The rear also extends out a little more. The OEM exhaust tip would be inside the cutout instead of flush like in the pic.

Good point Neo. Chuck if you want to see the difference b/t the stock bumper and RMM check the gallery and search for "GS wanted." There are before and after pics in there to give you an idea of the RMM bumper, exhaust cutouts, RMM exhaust on stock bumper and with RMM bumper.

very good point there neo. in fact a lot of the body kits they stick out more for aggressive exhaust setup
