2003 G35 Sedan - Rear bumper/lip question

I have a custom dual exhaust setup on my 2003 G35 sedan. Basically we just cut out the right side of the rear valance to make it match the left side. The holes on either side are too big because they were made for a twin tip exhaust, not a single, so it just doesn't look right. The main part was just getting the exhaust installed, now I need to make it look better.

What I need is an aftermarket rear valance, or rear bumper, that can be modified to look proper with the dual exhaust setup. All of the aftermarket ones I see have holes that are for the stock exhaust, twin tip, so I would probably have to get bigger tips to fill the gap.

Also, is it possible to put a 2007 G35 Sedan bumper on a 2003 G35 sedan? These already have dual exhaust cutouts and looks better.

Any ideas or help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.









I didn't wash the car in 2 weeks when I took this pic lol

There are several fiberglass options that you can modify… have a good body shop mold in the cutouts to your liking…

I used this one (but there are other options)… you won’t find a pre-made bumper or lip to suite your needs though… but this is a good option for what you are doing:

I had mine molded in and had the underside filled with FG so there is no air pocket ~

I would really go with quads if I were you. See if you can get the G8 ones, they look nice. Just my .02

it would have to be molded in... thought about it - but typically they sit lower and rest on rear window - cant mold to glass

besides, as crazy as it sounds, I think it would have a negative affect on aerodynamics

OMG I probably just opened a huge can of debate worms - but everything I've done to this car has some sort of performance consideration... Even when the Rookie bumper was being made, I called Viet and asked him how the bottom lip was shaped (flat, chopped off, open ended); fortunately his response was "knife blade" I'm sure he was appeasing me - but in reality it is a nicely contoured edge about as aerodynamic as one could expect...

So, no a roof spoiler is not for me

I was just trying to show the OP that there are choices...

I had to do a bunch of searching to find something that worked for what I was trying to do - no one had any pics or product links to share with me... so I thought it might help him in his project.

if you put the M3 lip is so small that i dont think it would make a difference on aerodinamics lol but i agree roof spoilers arent every1's cup of tea
