Anybody recognize this bumper?


I would totally make a custom project out of finding one of these if I can, even if it takes a lot of work and time... Seems like it would match the front valence pretty well, and it would give me a (perfectly valid ) excuse to find a dual-exhaust set up too

That's a Lorinser rear bumper. It will cost you around $1400. Several places have them.

That's rice...? Care to enlighten me as to how a tasteful (IMO) bumper, with grill-sections matching the ones on the front of our cars even, would be rice?

You just answered it yourself: "... with grill-sections matching the ones on the front... "

A grill in the back looks out of place.

What if I put headlights in the back to match the front too?

Well, yeah, the concept of having grills in the back like that (not really grills, but I can't think of the proper name for 'em currently) is rice, but what if it looks good regardless?

*edit* Saw a perspective side-view, looks like crap. Ignore my ramblings

I dont know what it is...maybe its just how reminiscent it is of those onda civis with the grills in the back that supposedly get rid of drag (psh sure if they were trapping over 120 Id say yea but not a 15 sec 80mph trapping car) As for looks the grill in the back is silver and the one in the front is black...at least match it maybe a photoshopper can do the honors...
