The Cosmetic R/T rear end conversion that is

. I had the shop weld in the exhaust I bought from magturbo03r/t. I thought it was a Thermal unit, but after polishing the pipes and muffler* it has Bosal/Brospeed stamped underneath? Meh either way, the price was definitely right AND it looks and SOUNDS killer! Now to get the 03 R/T bumper painted, get the rear lip kit + sideskirts installed, then call it a day for now. I'll have pics up soon.

*(BTW on a side note: Blue Coral metal polish FTMFW! Holy mirror-polished Stainless Steel, Batman!!!

No I'm not putting the mopar rear lip on THAT dented thing!!!

I've got an '03 R/T rear bumper that I need to get painted, THEN I'm installing the Mopar rear lip + sideskirts. I'm debating between an '02 R/T front, or an '03 front conversion with the front lip after the rear gets done.

Mmm, yes! The only thing is that Glasswars is rockin that look in his car. As much as I love it, I'd feel like I'm imitating or "stealing" the idea....

curious... how much $ is it to paint the bumper? Im trying to price out my front bumper now

Thanks

It's costing me 137 w/ tax.

Granted the bumper's in perfect condition too so there's not much prep work save sanding and primer.
