With all the new bumpers coming out, I think it's time for a new one. Hopefully it will be ready by January. That said I'm probably going to put my Rookie bumper up for sale. If anyone wants to make me an offer, feel free. It will need to be repaired. Has some cracks on it, but I'm willing to give a good deal. PM me if you're interested.
One thing that sets it aside from other Rookie bumpers is that I have reinforced the bottom portion of the bumper from the inside with additional fiberglass. After the bottom had opened up from scraping and such, I added 2 layers of fiberglass and I was able to slide the bumper on the ground better when I exited and entered steep driveways..One side has an additional 2 layers. Doesn't sound like much, but it did help quite a bit.

Been a while since I've done much with the car. Finally got a muffler on, Sebring, and it is sick. I'll get sound clips and better photos soon. I'm going to end up doing a full exhaust in a couple months with this shop, can't wait for that. Here are temporary pics.

Thanks guys....2C actually listened to it in person and said it sounded like the Fast Intentions...which makes sense since Fast Intentions uses Sebring parts 
I don't mind sharing who/where I got it from at all. Got it from Brent at Labree Motorsports (www.labreemotorsports.com). I'm gonna end up doing his entire exhaust including test pipes, which he said he found out a way to eliminate rasp. I'll get that in a couple months.
Like I said, gonna get better sound clips too probably sometime next week.

You guys crack me up lol. I didnt say anythin cos i thought it was on purpose, haha.
Dre, I'm sure he can make something for the coupe. You can either use the muffler I got, which could look sick with the right kit in the rea (dual muffler w/dual tip) or he has other mufflers. Call him up and see what he has for the coupe, but if you want the Sebring you gotta request it.
Just wanted to give an FYI, I am also running kinetix test pipes (non-resonated) so it is raspy at times, but not as bad as it was with the OEM muffler, and a coupe midpipe.
Also, for the install he had to cut the end of the OEM muffler so that it would be a "bolt-on" muffler...he uses these mufflers in his 300ZX applications.
