What not to do to a rear bumper

[stang120gt]

Ok well this year at the dream cruise there happen to be this stang owner that decide to cut holes in his rear bumper to put his tail pipes through. Needless to say the holes were about 1 1/2" bigger then his tail pipes all the way around. Well here's a pic it explain's alot

Yep, ugliest thing ever to do to a GT bumper

+1, if you want the GT theme and you want to see the tailpipes shell out the cash for a Cobra bumper.

why do you have to pick on my car?

hmmm, atleast now he can hook up a turbo easier and just run some pipes along the side of the car to the intake.

My first Mustang had those done by the previous owner...what a F'in hack job. This was one of those guys who generally took pretty good care of his car....routine oil changes only from dealers, always genuine Ford parts etc...but this was just crap:

If you look at that plate, that was the original plate issued to the car when it was bought. He was the second owner, and bought this car with only a couple thousand miles on it so he was pretty much the original owner. I pealed the registration stickers off all the way down to '89. I know all this because the owner was a friend of mine. It was a great car, ran like a champ but had some cosmetic issues, like the stupid bumper holes.

wouldnt the heat and soot and **** that spits out mess with the bumper and warp it. it looks like 302 coupe's has warped some.

I think that ripple was caused when the previous owner side swiped a guard rail, because the left quarter was wrecked pretty hard and the bumper didn't line up too well, but yea i think the heat would start to get to it a little over time.

He had nice taillights, at least.

There is a pretty nice Red GT that I see around here and the Guy did a real hack job doing that to the rear Bumper, ALMOST makes me feel as sick as when I see a Fart Can on Something!

If those shot fire out the back and the car had wings it'd be pretty cool

The sad thing is it looks like a pretty nice car otherwise.

Sadly enough I have seen too many cars like that around here.

hahaha why not beat a dead horse here... that is so stupid looking. just spend the money and buy the cobra bumper i did and it looks ten times better than that
