That looks good, very aggressive and sporty. I was thinking that the middle part of the bumper should drop between them instead of nothing. Would you just be enlarging or widening the existing exhaust openings to fit the quad exhaust?

Schmidt,
That's exactly what I was after, that way I can use my OEM bumper to do the work.
So I want to one of the guys here in town, which everyone say he's the best at custom modifications, and the guy does fabulous work! But bad thing is he asks for a lot in return.
I talked to him about it, showed him the pics, and told him I would just like to widen the openings, while retaining that same factory lip that's already there.
He said he can cut that lip and scoot it to the side, creating a larger room for the double tips setup.
Kind of like shrinking that lower piece and keeping it, instead of removing the whole thing.
Because if you do remove that piece, a lot of junk will be showing and that defeats the purpose of making it look good. If you do remove it, you will have to replace with any other piece to hide all the car components that might show.
Anyhow, I was told that he wants $1200-$1500 to do that and to repaint the whole bumper(I got a big deep garage scratch on it.)
Insanity.
How much does the Wald bumper cost?

tHeKiNg911,
That's not too bad for all of the work actually. I've checked on the Wald bumper andthe most I can find are prices for whole kits. A whole kit is around $2,000+. That's the cheapest I found so far. I can't seem to find individual item prices. It also looks like the fenders and wing/lip are separate though. You can check it out at http://intensepower.com/walelsexed20.html. Not sure if that helps. I'll let you know if I find anything else.

Glad to hear you guys enjoy the look and sound of my rear end! Here's the YouTube video of it. Just a muffler delete straight piped. It gets kind of loud in the cabin at lower RPM's getting into 2nd and 3rd gear. Other than that it's fairly quiet in the cabin. Enjoy!
