Rear Bumper

[hemi_fan]

What aftermarket rear bumpers are compatable with the GT models?? And is it possible to put an LX bumper on a GT, what do u need to do?? (I was lookin at the cobra bumper... looked badass.)

Yep - you can put an LX and a cobra rear bumper on - the cobra rear is better looking, since you can leave the other ground effects in place. If you put on an LX bumper, you need to remove the molding between it and the rear wheels.

On the LX the molding is a little different. The GT's molding has a recess that is bigger and it looks alittle odd to mix and match. I'll see if I have a pic.

Ok, you can see the difference in the molding.

Im a little confused... lol, can u explain the difference a bit?? Do you have any rear pics, cuz im really only gunna replace the rear bumper. I like the cobra cuz then I can run some tails out the back. Is the DECH rear bumper the same as the cobra except it says DECH??

Go with the Cobra, it just looks sweet!

The LX molding doesn't match, the cobra does. The LX uses a thin recess in the molding, the GT uses a thicker line.

I agree gget the cobra it looks badass with the chrome tail pipes that come up with the bumper

Yup, I got one too. Check out the sig. Goes good with my other pieces. What Larrendeuce is saying is that the beltline molding on the LX is narrower than the GT, so it would look pretty goofy. You can also do what I had before my accident, and do a good set of cutouts on the GT rear. Screw it, I'll just post pics.

BTW- I still need a paintjob, hopefully very soon.

can't go wrong

What kind of tail pipes do you need so that they fit perfect with the bumper?

 

[astronut1885]

on a cobra? LX tails. they sit too high, so alot of guys weld in longer hangers. I just got longer rubber exhaust isolators from the parts store, it's a million times easier. If you're talking about my custom job, I simply cut off the turndowns on the stock GT tails and welded in the tips. They're from summit. 3" rolled edge slant cut SS tips. They're like 15.00 a piece, and they're really nice.
