Unfortionately no. It is part of the whole rear facia and does not come apart. It's the same one that is in the California Special. I have a CS and the whole thing is one piece. My car is Vista Blue and I can see where the blue paint ends and the black area begins.

No. I guess I'd have to see it painted "correctly" to give a full opinion. The rear would have to be satin black, including the diffusers. But I doubt it would look anything near as good as the GT/CS bumper.

Just an FYI, the CS and GT500 rear bumpers are slightly different. The black on the GT500 bumper wraps around the side. The CS stops before the side. The CS bumper looks best with GT rockers. The GT500 bumper looks best with V6/GT500 black rockers.

Looks too "stuck" on and ricey to me. I'd pay a bit more and get the real one piece bumper cover.

I hear different. The GT500 and CS bumper are the same. They are just painted different on the lower valance. Everyone says before they get painted they're the same but you can either paint the whole bottom half or just the section around the exhaust flat black. Should be the same though.

I was not aware of that. Thanks. I thought the black was textured, which is why I thought they were different parts.

I think the texture is molded into the part. My GT/CS lower sides are textured and even fade to black at the bottom.

Nice to know they are the exact same. I found a GT500 replica bumper on Roush's site I think. Or somewher like that. I could just save money and get the GT/CS one!
