Default Help Identify this rear bumper

Does anyone know what rear bumper this is, or if it is a merging of two bumpers what other bumper was used to merge into the factory bumper?

Not sure what bumper, but I'm feeling the car. VIP Sport is pretty awesome!

Love the kit overall... I just don't like how the rear doesn't flow when compared to the way they painted the side skirts; it makes the rear look too low. The rear overfenders/flares though... not a fan at all.

I looked into the cost of getting the rear bumper and it would be over $1,000 just for the rear bumper with shipping. Not worth it to me.

Does anyone know if AIMGAIN bumpers are urethane or fiberglass?

Looking for something for the rear to go with a molded TTE front lip and L-Tuned side skirts.

I have been trying to find pictures of a molded admiration rear lip but have not had any luck yet.

Any legitimate rear bumper isn't going to be cheap...especially with shipping from Japan

Absolutely nothing (other than the GTE) about this vehicle do I like. Just fantastic how stupid it is to have gauges in a place that they cant be monitored.

Next I'm thinking of putting gauges in my headrests
