For all you folks who haven't been around here a decade, a couple of companies used to make rear lips for the 2nd gen GS. I had one on my old GS before I put on the l-sportline rear. IMO the are very subtle enhancements and really look a lot like what the OP did with Plastidip.

Tom's VA300 rear bumper insert

See it here in this thread



Test fitted against a buddies blue GS, before installing on mine. Note it wasn't attached so not as close a fit as after you attach it.




Installed (a little hard to see on a black GS)



TTE also made one that was very similar, as pictured on this GS:

^ They look good but if they don't serve a function I'd rather just get the factory bumper painted a glossy black or flat black. Maybe that's why they never caught on... I wish there was a matte grey pastidip that would be a nice contrast for darker color GS cars.

yup i never liked those rear "inserts", cause they are not lips.

For function slap on the Varis. Tune it in a wind tunnel and panel up the whole underbody of the GS hehe
