LOL, pay you to NOT do it... There has to be a way just to make a mold of the original bumbper and work from there ? Yeah it is alot of work, but when you have the final product you will make $$$$$$$$$$$

It would be a whole lot cheaper if made of fiberglass. Once the glass becomes popular the mold could be used for polyeurothane(sp).
I say this because I knew a fiberglass expert who told me he could make any bumper for $300-$500.

I would definitely do this mod, but the cost might make it tough to pull the trigger. Ice if you can get that guy to make this bumper, I'll be the first and maybe several others to buy it. Alternatively I was looking at the TTE rear spoiler which accomodates a dual exhaust, or dual tips for that matter. DJ what do you think about making the LS tip fit on the rear skirt spoiler by TTE or another similar rear spoiler by Kranze?
