Chargespeed bumper on stock G?

My rear bumpers gotta get replaced so i figured i might as well go aftermarket. I have an 06 coupe sport. If i get a chargespeed rear bumper, will it look weird with stock skirts and front bumper? Will it hang any lower and look funny?

you might be able to pull it off, just get some 25mm spacers all around.

Well my girlfriends brother hit me so its going in to a body shop to get replaced and painted. But they want 600 for an oem one so i figured i might as well go with a chargespeed from one of the vendors here since i love how they look

I just dont want it looking like i have random car parts put together on my car lol (civic-ish)

Looks good my rear bumper is warped so im eventually going to be doing the same thing with a complete stock body, not sure if i should get the fiberglass one, polyurethane or carbon fibre, what are you thinking of getting?

they only make fiberglass, with the option of cf diffuser or matte black diffuser.

Polyurethane rear bumper is a waste of money.

Unlike a poly front bumper, you're not going to be scraping your poly rear bumper on the bottom of anything unless you drive around backwards all the time. I rarely scrape my fiberglass rear bumper and when I do, the scrape isn't bad enough for me to justify getting a polyurethane bumper.

You shouldn't also be backing into anything either. And if you are to get rear ended, it doesn't matter if you have fiberglass or polyurethane, in a sense the bumper is going to need to be repaired anyway. Also, unless you get some support brackets made for your polyurethane rear bumper, it is going to sag over time. My polyurethane Kuruma Z bumper started to do this until I made my own brackets to re-enforce it.

Personally, I'm a big fan of fiberglass sideskirts and rear bumper. I've been driving around with that setup for almost 2 years and never had an issue of cracking my rear bumper or sideskirts, even when I do scrape or hit something nasty.

So you think a fiberglass rear bumper will be okay if i live in alberta where we can get like 2 feet of snow at times? Just backing outa my driveway until i get onto paved road of course. Cause fiberglass is a hell of a lot cheaper.
