yeah how does it hold off in car washes, this gap? I want to put a exhaust on there, but the 01-03 bumpers hole is too small so i gotta put the 04-06

could you take a picture from farther back? I'd like to see how the rear looks as a whole with that gap. it doesn't look too bad up close, but could change some minds if we see the entire setup.

Thanks

Yeah some further back pictures would help justify it. Looks pretty decent to me though. You'll be the only person that knows that part doesn't line up.

I kinda want it because the gap for the exhaust is bigger, so i can make my mufflers sit a little higher, mines has a hard time getting down driveways =P

thank you for this, now i know! I agree, not very noticeable. Too bad I'll never be able to find an 04-06 bumper in my 01 color, they never offered it! adsjhdlaksjh

Nah, I see it too. I'm guessing the exhaust shop didn't do a great job fitting the mufflers.
