Default LS 460 Rear End Mod Kit

Just got these pics in from my friend Ricky from NYCAutoParts. He filled in the cut out part and made it oem. I know there were some people that didnt like the first kit he made but hope you guys like this one.

I think it depends on how the rest of the car is set up. I'm not familiar with your car so I don't know how it flows with the side/front/wheels/height/etc.

From just that angle I have to say I'm a bit indifferent. It looks a bit droopy.

Someone needs to do this setup with a tasteful fake diffuser design element like a lot of the performance-trim Mercs and Bimmers come with. Would look sick on a light colored car.

Looks decent. Better than grafiting the LS460 bumper to a GS bumper.

The stock bumper is shaped totally different bro. i know its a one piece bumper, and has the flare. Then the next questions I'm about to ask you will solve the confusion. Did he make a pro type and had a mold build, and if so is this fiberglass. And if so like the say on sharktank "I'm out".

I'll take the grafted epoxy merged polyurethane bumper any day. In the listing he doesn't state what this bumper is made of.

Not hating bro, just want to get the right information so others don't run out and buy something they thought was made differently. If its poly then that justifies the price if it isn't......i'll leave my comment to my self.

The kit is made of fiberglass. A polyurethane bumper would cost more.
