After market rear bumper help


I am planning and I was going to try and keep my car stock looking and clean, but then I came across this body kit. I've seen it on here too.

I think with a nice white paint job this would still look clean and not ricey. But the only thing I hate about this kit is the back bumper.

I do not like the vents and the bottom doesn't look good either. And the worst thing about it all is i absolutely hate the reverse lights for the 97+ cars. To me they are in just a random location doesn't look right. That's my taste not dogging on anyone or anything like that. Just you like what you like and I know you'll get that.

But What I am looking for an after market rear bumper that still comes with the 95, 96 reverse lights. Has anyone ever seen one. I don't like the circle lights.
Thanks I've been looking like crazy but can't seem to find any.

You could find a different bumper you like, or if its fiberglass you could modify it to work with the reverse lights you want.

Almost went with the BuddyClub2 kit a while back. Ended up with the Drifter style front, and it came with Blitz sides and rear. I then grew out of that and got stock bumpers...

If you have enough "know-how", cut the vents at the top and bottom and fiberglass them closed, same with the reverse lights. Hardest part will be mounting reverse lights of some sort and making them look ok since the 2ga lights aren't the same shape as the license plate area.

That's the kit I have is the drift front with blitz sides and rear. I don't like the 97 reverse lights either so Im going to fill the holes and run led for my reverse lights and an led strip for plate light. Just to make it a little different
