Default JP exhaust with stock bumper?

I've been fighting a losing battle to not mod the GS and I think I may end up giving in and order some items here shortly. The only exhaust that I like so far is the JP single tip exhaust but I don't want an aftermarket bumper anytime soon and I can't find any pics of a GS with this exhaust with the stock rear, anyone have any pics? I'm a picky bastard and I can't stand when an exhaust protrudes out past the bumper so I'm curious as to how the JP fits with the stock rear. If anyone has any pics it would be much appreciated. I'd hate to drop the coin on this kit and hate it, sell it and lose money on it

Sucks, sticks out too far for my taste so back to square one for this mod...

Hmmmm...it's hard to tell from that pic, but the JP exhuast does come with extender tips. They could have been used in the car that was pictured but like I said, can't really tell from that pic. When my brother first installed his exhaust, he was pleased with how it looked initially so he didn't use the extenders at all.

I really like the whole design of that JP exhaust. I also dont like how far out it sticks, maybe you can pm TLW and find out about the extender tips and how it fits on stock bumper

That pic is actually of the JP rear bumper but it gives you an idea of what the exhaust would look like on the oem bumper. The jp rear bumper is almost factory looking.

Yeah, you're right...

Here's a pic from the side you can see it doesn't extend out too much..

I LOVE that exhaust. It just looks so elegant and aggressive at the same time...

I think the JP exhaust looks weird on a GS. To me, it looks like a offset/offset muffler with a Mustang or Camaro exhaust tip welded to it.

I think his whole kit is JP. Including the wing.

That's correct, it's the whole JP kit. Like Bluelex mentioned, the JP rear bumper looks very similar to the oem one, it just goes down slightly further.

Here's a pic of the OEM bumper from the rear



Here's the JP rear bumper



As you can see, it's somewhat similar to the OEM one.
