Talking You might be a ricer if . . . . .

You have more exhaust decibels than your engine has horsepower.

You have aftermarket FRONT wheels for racing but stock rear wheels.

Your engine makes twice as much horsepower as torque.

17" rims up front, 13" out back on your FWD.

You ever painted your wheels to match the same color of your car.

You put your automatic car in neutral at every stoplight in order to roll it back and try to fool other people into thinking you have a manual transmission

DuPont gave up trying to figure out the shade you were asking for.

Your mod list includes stereo equipment, shifter handle, MOMO steering wheel, PIA driving lights, exhaust tip, but no REAL engine parts.

A chameleon lizard undergoes fewer shade changes than your custom paint scheme.

Your rims and tires are so large, that you have to install the tire / wheel from underneath the car because it simply won't fit in the wheel well going in from the side.

The dealer laughs when you bring your car back in for service under warranty, and you've only had it 6 months...

Your tires / rims stick out from the lip of your car by more than 1."

Your paint job is from the WRONG end of the color spectrum.

You installed spacers on your STOCK wheels and tires to get them to stick out past the fender.

You see cars like yours in a Shriner's Parade for Children and clowns are driving them.

You bring an empty Maxwell House coffee can with you to compare size when you shop for an aftermarket exhaust system.

Your Eclipse GS-T hardtop has a "SPYDER" emblem on the rear...

Your sum knowledge of suspension is: "the more negative camber, the better the handling."

You push your car through the staging lanes. That way, maybe you can break into the 16s by keeping the motor cool between runs.

You add a super tall rear wing, and a hundred pounds of aftermarket ground effects, neon and stereo yet you gut the interior and yank out the rear seat for weight savings.

Your rear wing AND your rear window have a third mount brake light...

I think the bumper extension looks pretty cool. Can't wait to see what it looks like installed...

On the other hand, that rear wing on the RUF turbo is ridiculous !

What were they thinking

I've actually been looking at that part for a few days. The back on the stock bumper needs some work. The only have 1 picture of it on a car. I would like to see what it looks like from the back center. I'm curious how far is sticks out, if any.

i'm still skeptical about this bumper. i agree the back bumper needs some work....needs to sit lower.

i'll post a pic next week with what it looks like...although i won't be able to get it painted until the summer, car is stored as of today, dam snowwww. but atleast i'll tape it up too see what it's going to look like. i ll post a pic for sure to give you an idea.

Okay so i got the rear bumper piece in today, ill try and tape it up on the rear bumper this weekend....i'm dying to see what it will look like. I cant get it put on
the car untill this summer....kinda sucks.

from just holding it up against the car, it looks pretty crazzzzyyy. it lowers the rear pretty low. i was just holding it up to the car, was hard to figure out what it really will look like, hopefully not too low.

i'm thinking about getting it molded to the bumper, as i hate pieces, but we'll have to see how affordable this is first.

i'll post a pic on the weekend for sure!!

p.s. if you saw the pic on his ebay site of the yellow boxster with his rear bumper on. that is soooo not what this piece looks like. it's 10 times nicer then his pic of it on the car. there is no big bluggy vent near the tires, if this makes sense. this pic is more like it, exactly like it.

They both look the same too me, Maybe the pic of the yellow boxster overwhelmed your sences and you think you see big wider curves cause of the shadowing and now that you see the unpainted peices they dont look so curvy... I say wait till paint and install it... I personally like it, I just dont know how the front will look.
