Default what rear bumper goes best w/ rmm sides; not the rmm rear thou

need opinions as to which rear bumper would look the best with a tte lip and rmm sides? i do not really care for the rmm rear, and i am leaning towards the lsportline rear, yes i know its discontinued and would most likely end up getting a sarona rep.

so please let me know what you think would flow best with this set up, thanks

Def the L Sportline. Or perhaps even a Vertex rear?

LSportline would work but Vertex? Not in my opinion. The Vertex front goes well with RMM sides (I've had it) but the rear Vertex bumper doesn't flow as well. Since the RMM sides are pretty similar to the Version Select you might consider the VS rear. Tom is trying to sell his kit and is willing to part it if there are buyers for everything.

You don't like the RMM but the advantage to it is it is polyurethane which is much more forgiving than fiberglass. I was rear ended and my RMM came through with just scrapes/scrapes. No cracks or breaks anywhere. I've gone with a new custom rear bumper but I'm keeping my RMM just for that reason. ha ha

These aren't the best pics but it's Version Select front, RMM sides, and custom rear (Ty's old rear bumper w/ LS460 exhaust.)
