actually, i think you had the bumper i was talking about, but it's hard to tell from the pic. the slats themselves are very thin and have no depth. it looks funny. it's hard to explain, but if you saw it right next to a turbo it would make sense. the turbo slats go in about an inch or so. that's the way they are on my anziano piece. they're great for collecting dirt

 

ok...well, now i'll have the real deal...lol

 

make sure you post some pics when you're done. i'd like to see how the "thinned" out oem bumpers come out. it should look perfect.

when you cut out the 30mm or so from the middle, does using the OEM rear still require use to use the exhaust extensions?

 

Actually its going to be done like Misha's. Cuts by the wheel well....Thats the way my shop does it, then route the pipes.

 

Newport that is the best way to do it......you can't tell when you put the bumper on that it is cut at all....and the fit is perfect. and yes you need extensions for the tips....

 

This is a great looking mod. I have thought of doing it many times, but always chickened out.

 

I just got lucky that I saw Misha's post...the bumper was ready AND in the right color...and he even gave me his modified tips...it took me about 2 hours to replace all parts.
