Cool 97+ body update without the rear bumper

Have anyone did the 97+ conversion and skipped on the rear bumper? If so how did it look?

its doesn't flow too well to skip the back bumper, it is very very noticable to me.

get the back bumper to complete it.

{cough} lower door moldings is also noticable to me.

I was without the rear bumper for about 3 weeks, it looked ok but you really should get it - it completes the updated look (And don't forget the 97+ tail lights too...)

My motto goes like this - Go big or Go home....LoL

97+ bumper is a nice subtle change, it would look okay without the rear bumper. Now, if you have an aftermarket bumper that would look bad without the side skirts and rear bumper.

Some people say "the search button is your best friend" but using your imagination wouldnt hurt either. Try that one out.

Back when I had supra wheels w/o caps. 97 front and sides, no rear.

Enjoy!

I can actually live with the front of the 92-96 SC's. It's the sides and rear i HATE because there is too much air under the car................even slammed to the ground. I think it's backasswards to go from the front of the car backwards, it needs to be the other way if you can only afford to do it piece by piece.

I played the cheap **** and pieced my BMW together and until it was done it seemed like it just added more stress. I decided I wouldn't do that with my SC. Just drop a few G's all at once and get it done like i did this week......... er... i mean.......... .........nothing. Would,........uh..... like to do.... yeah.
