yea i think it would match really nice.. unless there were height issues (rear lower than skirts) would you get that trunk too? i would change it a bit for the exhaust oppenings but thats just my opinion.. also i would fill the rear bumper openings with the same mesh you use on the front

heh EGOIST one of my favorite kit

One problem with that rear bumper:

It's got integrated wheel fenders, but only alittle part of it. So you'll have to buy the fender kit, but then the Egoist side skirts also connect with the rear and front fenders, which connects with the front bumper.

This is the WORST kit to be doing mixing and matching. It might look good from behind but you actually need to get the WHOLE thing for it to look right. Unless you can get some custom work done to the fenders to fix it. But that'll cost as much as getting it all together.

Thanks guys,
LexusRules,
I was just thinking about doing that mesh as you mentioned.

Globe and GS4Will,
I didn't really notice the fender treatment untill you pointed them out. Hmmmmmmmmmm. The guy said that it can be done, and if I do just a modification to a stock rear bumper to make it look like the egoist, he can do the side of the bumper to match.
Globe, do you think you can take the side angle and do your magic to see what it might look like. I am not as good with photoshop as you are. BTW, that bumper pic of your car looks incredibly nice.

Default Hey Brah...

Eh Ricky,

You got to get that rear bumper or have picasso make you one that looks like it!! That bumper would totally match your front and make your car both classy and hyped.
And when you get tired of the combo, you can just sell it to me!!!
