Default rear bumper options

The previous owner cut a crude opening for another tailpipe in the original bumper on my car and I'd like to do something about it while its off the car. Is a dual outlet cover available?

I also bought one from FVD that I thought was good quality and a fair price.

I bought a complete RS-style replacement bumper from FVD in carbon/kevlar with dual exhaust cutouts.

Sorry, no pics yet but there are a few on the FVD website.

That looks great. Does it reuse all the factory internals or a new weight saving reinforcement?

I can't imagine much weight savings there. It's all pretty light. The FVD part couldn't have been more than a pound?

I'm not exactly a Mainer, but I've been coming to Maine every summer for over 25 years - we stay on China Lake, which is "Down East" from you.

Factory internals but you have to modify the rear bumper beam (or buy the ROW) one depending on where you're from.

Ok. I went to the website and its just the replacement end that you're buying not the whole cover. Looks like the easiest way out. Thanks!

Matt, I am not sure which one you are talking about but the one I am referring to is here.

If I get home earlier enough today I'll weigh it and the stock one (which I just removed last night).

If you buy just the left end piece, you'll not have to mobidy the bumper bar.
