Do it. That design seems right up your alley pisto. The only think I'd be worried about with that design is hitting the bumper support. I guess you can always cut it off

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking Aaron, but I'd have to get another fiberglass bumper first....wouldn't I?
well levon, if you really wanted you could cut your oem in 1/2 and keep the upper half. then w/the lower half of the benz rear you keep as well. then have the shop mold them together and then proportion/modify it from there and voila.

Thought about that, but always figured fiberglass is best to work with. If using poly is not a problem with FG then the cost will go down a lil and it's the same price pretty much as the OEM bumper + lip. I still need to take a look at the CLS to see if the shape is close enough to the G.

I think that would look pretty damn good with your setup levon. I def. think it'd have to be a 1 off not so sure how that would look on other sedans, but i think it fits your theme great.

Lol. Maybe I'll get this project sooner than expected. Only thing is the paint. I'd need my front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and rear quarter panels painted. Might as well do the entire car I'm figuring. Needa land a full time job so I can do that. Damn city is being cheap.

BTW, thanks Shane.

Just send me 2 fiberglass bumpers you want molded and ill do it for ya. lol shipping shouldnt be to much. Imo, i would get 2 fiberglass and mold em together. Not really fond of molding poly and fiberglass. Chances of the molding sticking to the poly arent that good compared to fiber to fiber and with fiber the options are endless

Levon nice custom look. Like Dustin said if you need help we might can do something. Strafe does do more than bodykits and we do have an account with Sebring. Get with myself or Dustin.. As far as making a mold well that doesn't come from PICS! The rear wouldn't be that hard to make and you could do your own GB..like I said give us a hollar..

I am honestly not feeling that rear on our car. It looks just like an S4 rear, just doesnt seem like it fits the lines on the G. But....it would certainly be unique.
