Removed rear bumper humps.
 
Got around to removing the rear black bumper humps today along with installing a new carbon fiber rear wing and some rear carbon fiber splitters. I think it turned out pretty good!

Will be getting a photo up ASAP!

Um... what on earth are the humps for? We don't have such things.

Andrew, its a USA spec thing. They look like eye sores. I got rid of mine long time ago too.

Hawk, post some pictures...

The above one is of the back without the "humps".

What did you do to fill/cover up the holes? Just use another piece of plastic and paint it black? I actually broke a bumperette off a couple weeks back and haven't decided how I want to fix it. Was either going to take the back bumper off and weld it back up or remove the other one and fill the holes.

I pulled the bumper cover off and removed the brackets from the bumper that hold the humps. There pop riveted on so all you have to do is grind the rivets off. Then just cut a piece of plastic out to size and put it over the entire back section. Might make a cover out of carbon fiber latter on. Not sure yet. I do like the way it looks now.

It was black plastic so no need for paint.

If you want I could mail you the brackets I pulled off. You should be able to pop rivet them back on your bumper if you want to put the hump back on.

I removed mined also a few years ago during an insurance bumper replacement. check out the black "S" on the left. Looks better up close.

Nice! I think it somehow makes the entire rear end look wider.

By the way .... how's your body kit project coming along ?

Hawkeye71 02-17-2011 04:42 AM

Getting the kit in today!! Will be taking the car to Atlanta next week to have it put on and painted. (At least that's the plan as long as my bud can drive down with me.) Magnum Collision is gonna be doing it for me.

I did same to my Box with a new bumper cover from Suncoast during the 20% off sale and the CF spoiler from Vertex.
