Looks good. And I can officially say that red Eclipses are the only one's who can even consider putting altezzas on. I still don't like em, but they look...less bad on red 2g's...nice work.

No its a GTR rear. I posted a question about that same rear a while back but for some reason it wasnt looking good on a white car. Looks good in red though

Im assuming custom cause it looks kinda like its molded on..? Im probably wrong though
72306, RE: New Custom Rear Bumper installed

if its molded on...the shop did an absolutely horrible job...cuz i can still see the seems where the quarter panel and rear bumper meet. ;)

Personally, I don't like it, but hey man it's your car and if you like it, that's all that matters! :)

Nice bro...I would rock it...but I would mold in the vented part and put in a diffusor and mold vents in the sides. Thats just me though!:shrug

I said custom because it isn't "stock". Yeah, it is molded on. Can you show me in the pic where you see the seam cause I can't, but I am no professional. The rear was not the best manufactured and needed quite a bit of prep work, I have been told you can get better but it is still a crap shoot as far as fit. At this point this is the one and only time I ever plan on doing bodywork. It looks cool but I am not sure it is worth the time/effort/money/inconvenience.

whoa...perhapse i am jus seeing things in the reflection then....I coulda sworn i saw the seem...I have definately been wrong before though....my bad dood :shrug

Posted by Dont_need_8, May-18-04 08:13 AM
no problem, just was wondering if you saw something I didn't. That paint is very shiny and reflective and it makes me do double takes constantly since I picked it up cause I think I see imperfections.

I think what I have boxed in on the picture is what you guys thought was the seam...at least that's what I thought it was too until I noticed it was just in the reflection.

I spent my whole lunch hour kneeling down and looking/rubbing my hand along where the seams would be and was unable to feel or see anything. I am positive that any issues are a result of reflections of things around the car. I didn't mean to bust Buck Nutty out but when you make a statement such as "the shop did an absolutely horrible job" I would like to have it shown to me, here is a pic of where the seam would be:



and here is my car:

Ya, thats an Aero gear rear.... an Ya, I've had it for quite some time.... Its not on a lot of cars because aerogear recalled them do to poor fitment and a bad mold. So if u got it from someone it prolly is an aerogear knockoff. wich is why you don't think its an aerogear. Anyways, Im suprised anyone remembers me, I only post once every few months now. Someone said they wanted to see pics of that rear at different angles, if u need some hit me up on AIM or e-mail. and I can get u some.
