Default WALD rear bumper came in!

I'm pretty excited. I bought this 7/10 condition WALD rear bumper on ebay for around $400 after shipping from canada. It arrived today and it looks pretty good. My rear bumper is partially ripped at the right tail light, spraypainted, and incredibly ugly to look at. I figured this matching paint bumper would be a better investment than repainting my old one (I was going to buy a body kit anyway). I'm planning on refreshing it, buffing out scratches and putting some touch up paint on, and then installing it. I'll post more here when it's all cleaned up and pretty!

the rear has gotten a lot worse now. scratches everywhere, dents, etc. you can see how poorly resprayed it is. paint just chips off.


WALD bumper! it has a few good scratches and paint chips missing but nothing ripped or broken. it looks like the paint is the same but even if it doesn't match that's not a big deal. The car will be wrapped in the future.

I saw it on ebay many months ago. I waited a while to jump on it lol. and probably not, I'm gonna put some sort of bumper guard on the back. I have no other excuse other than I'm broke, because I just bought a Silk Blaze steering wheel yesterday too

Well I'd really love some artisan spirit fenders and exhaust cutouts. I had to return the cutouts I bought from jegs. I thought the exhaust was 2.5 on my LS, turns out it's only 2"

Those fenders are so nice and yah the piping is actuall 1.9 if I remember correctly from the thread I read.

Were you putting the exhaust cut outs by the mufflers?

Yeah, right behind em, the pattern for the motors didn't match the pattern for the cutouts. I'm considering getting a muffler kit for it instead, but I really the option of quieting it down
