My fronts are deleted like the rest of them are but I deleted the rears with a little different approach than what's usually done.

Mr. Finn,
Is that what shows when one cuts out that inside part of the rear bumper cover? And what about the three slotted cut outs at the bottom? Was that a DIY? It actually looks pretty good. Kinda bad ***!

Hey Hans, thanks,

The top part with the round holes is the actual bumper and that will show when you cut the bumper.
Underneath that in stock setup is the heat shield which I removed so what's showing there now are the 200 cell cats I have.

The smaller slots on the bottom are all part of the DIY I did to get rid of the bumperettes, possibly to have little more cooling and just to look a different.

that's because they're not "tips" at all.

I think tips are unnecessary so when I made the exhaust and have never been a big fan of the big exhaust tips (especially when in many case you see the actual pipe in there), the final pipes from the cats I made are just what they are in the size they are (IIRC 2.5").

This looks sick! I really like the idea and am thinking of going a similar route. Could you please clarify something for me?
1. When I look at my car the crash bar is solid vs your pictures show holes in it. Is this a different part or have you drilled the holes yourself?
2. Any word of advice for someone starting this journey? :-)

PS: Your PM folder is full and you can't receive any more until you delete some
