From this picture you can see that the rear bumper is certainly different, but the sides might actually be the same. Steve would definitely know.

You're right. It does appear that the rear bumper would be the longer portion.

Steve, is that an AMG kit that you have on your wagon, (rear bumper included)? I was thinking of putting a front bumper, sideskirts and forgetting about the rear bumper.
I just bought an AMG exhaust from a forum member and he also gave me an AMG bumper with a crack & side skirts. But one of the side skirt is broken in half. & there is no rear bumper. I'm not sure if the body kit is OEM or replica.
I wasn't planning to install any bodykits but since this was for free I might as well.
If one of the sides is cracked in half can it be fixed or should I just get a new one?
Also will the AMG exhaust fit with the regular bumper or do you need an AMG bumper for that?

There is a chance for it to crack again anytime you hit something hard (especially if you lower your car).
So I'm not sure if it's worth the money to fix it.

So I had a little bit of time before I head to lunch to edit this thread and instead of linking to all the sites, I've replaced some links with pictures. I will make more changes when I get the chance.

I have a slight dilemna. I wanted to go with the Fabulous aero, but my wife who also drives the car doesn't like how the front bumper jets out and is afraid to have a parking "incident". Haha, before you say back it in or any of the assorted comments...that's not the question. I also don't want her to screw it up, but was wondering what front bumper would best match the rest of the aero. As long as it matches up with the skirts then it should be fine. Keep in mind that I want it to have a similar style, not too rounded off. It's not a question of not going with the rest of the Fabulous aero..that we want. So any ideas?? Here's a photochop I did of how it should look with the Fabulous aero and Expand wheels (yes, it will be on bags):

I just finished rear over fenders and nose panel on my Z, so maybe that's the best route...unless there's a bumper we aren't thinking of.
how much is it gonna cost? if you want a replica, autoblz sells them for $1200. i never bought from them, and havent heard good things about them though

dronellis, I'm aware you're a sponsor, but please keep the promotion/sales of your body kits in a seperate thread or in the Classifieds. This thread is primarily to show what is available. That is the reason I re-configured it a bit, mainly to show pictures and the manufacturers websites (which, for the most part, do not have pricing).
oopsss sorry ...

So replica aero is not my thing...but hey, that's just me and my opinion. I don't totally frown on others for it..that's their deal.
yea, if you want do bodykits definitely go with full kits instead of mix and matches. I'm not a fan of mix and matches except in few cases.
