rolling a mopar rear lip? help ASAP

Adam_T · Post by **Adam_T** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 1:53 pm

okay i have heard a few things about " rolling in a rear bumper " and stuff like that but i really dont know what it is.

i have a brand new mopar rear lip and i had the holes cut out (the pre raised guidelines that came with the lip) but my borla exhaust doesnt come near those holes.

i was wanting to sell it.....but maybe i could just roll that whole back angle part and just have them tucked up?

i dunno..i dont know much about body work. anyone with suggestions or pics? if not..i am just going to have 2 holes cut out in my stock rear bumper to have the tips fit up in that. id prefer to keep the lip though if at all possible...

please help.

I think you literally roll it upwards and tie it up with zip ties... check in search - there is a topic I asked about a long time ago about this

Adam_T · Post by **Adam_T** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 1:57 pm

so just cut two side slits in it so it can be bended upwards? then roll it up?

I dont think you even have to cut it... the srt guys do it all the time.

here is one: no pics... http://forum.2gn.org/viewtopic.php?t=14 ... led+bumper
Here is one I pulled from another post:

srt4nate @ SRTforums.com wrote:1. lay down under the rear of the car in between the exhaust tips.
2. disconnect the 2 black plastic plugs holding the bumper in position.
3. take a zip tie and put it thru the hole where the plug was and "roll" the bumper by pulling it towards the front of the vehicle. about 9-12" from where the plug came out of you'll notice a rail with holes about every 12", use this hole to zip tie the bumper to. then repeat the zip-tying for the other side of the bumper (2 zip ties total)

yeah, sorry man, best I could find.

Umm. The "rolled bumper" mod is for SRT-4 bumpers only guys.

Also, with issues like these, pics really help man.

I understood that the Borla fits the R/T tip cutouts, which the Mopar Lip kit has the guides to cut along if you desired.

yeah thats what i was thinking. i just went and looked at my lip and was like " errrr its not rolling " <---the mopar rear lip that is

but if you look at mopar rear lips....they have a raised line (in the shape of a cutout for a rolled bumper look a like) and it looks like i could just cut out that whole middle section.

Post by **Canada** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 2:13 pm

Yeah, they have that as a guideline, in all the accessory books, they reference painting that area black if you so desired.

the RT cut outs definitely dont fit the borla exhaust. haha. they are about a inch away.

that means you bought the wrong borla exhaust.

You probably bought the one for the SRT-4, not the R/T

Or a 1st gen. The Vibrant is the same. It wont fit a 2nd gen RT/ACR

Measure from tip to tip on your exhaust and post it for us..

My rolled bumper..

took 4 zip ties and roughly 3 minutes to do.

The Borla Cat Back isn't made for the R/Ts.

When you read the instructions it says 00-05 Neon (excludes R/T)

Du hast keine Absaugventilatorspitzen??????

how does it sound?

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 6:04 pm

was?

ich verstehe nicht Ihr Deutsches

kc2005ptgt · Post by **kc2005ptgt** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 6:16 pm

I dont see any muffler tips... where is your exhaust?

Sorry, was being funny

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 6:19 pm

lol.. I didnt understand the last word.. My great grandparents were from germany so I got some of it.

No I don't have any tips. It's not side Exit or Rear Exit. I have A 3" exhaust, but I fucked up the rear section by backing up into a curb. So I took it off until I could get it fixed. It's Loud. It's not as loud as SideExit, because I have a Resonator, but it's still loud. It dumps off right after the rear axle

You didnt do any messy curb work with your old one did you ?

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 6:32 pm

of course not..

I was distracted by my very beautiful fiancee when I was backing up into a stall at a resturant and BAM.... CRunch..

SHIT! lol Bent the Driver's Side Tip almost pointing straight up.

lol i been sick past week and i felt like shit and i backed up into a steel bumper =/

Adam_T · Post by **Adam_T** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 10:45 pm

i bought the borla system for the 03-05 sxt's. didnt say excluded RT model. but i wasnt trying to get an rt model one. when the mopar lip kit said " can fit with r/t style exhaust which we also sell " i didnt think it meant that i couldnt put other stuff on there.

live and learn. haha.

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 7:12 pm

The Borla was made to be put on without making cutouts in the bumper.. Main reason.. at least from what they told me, they went with a wider spacing between the tips.

shit is off the chainnnnn!!

EDIT: i wonder how the borla dual outlet would look under there....or if it would be too "metal" looking. seeing all the pipes from muffler and everything just hanging there.

01WhiteNe0n · Post by **01WhiteNe0n** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 10:22 am

It will sit right where his muffler is except 2 it sits about 1/8th of inch from stock bumper.
