I like the look of the older style bumper, such as the one z3roneo has on his car:
Is this just the r/t model style bumper or what? I'm guessing the srt hood clearly fits perfectly with this bumper?

Ya I really like the srt front too, but didn't want to look like every other srt out there, especially since I haven't done an engine swap yet or anything.
So that's the r/t bumper I posted right? I'm trying hard to find one.

Don't know about the States, but here in Canada the 01-02 R/T bumpers are different from the Non-R/T models for both years.

no, rt/acr bumpers from both the us and canada have a lip and look like the 02 bumper. the 02 bumper (se, es, sxt) do not have the lip, like the one in your sig 2k1MS --- look in my garage and you will see what an 01-02 rt/acr bumper looks like

yeah but the lip can always be bought right? it's just a mopar lip kit... other than that the bumpers are the same, right?
Once i get my 02 R/T rear bumper from teamliviD i'm going to work on getting the full lip kit (if i can find one anymore since they don't make them)
So back to what i originally stated... apk2k6 should be able to get the 02 bumper that i posted a link to and just get the lip for it...

Nah... the rt lip can't be bought cuz its part of the bumper itself...
Pics say a thousand words...
This is the R/t bumper... (Diablo bad ass neon) (Notice the lip on the bottom of the bumper...)
Now this is the 02 Non R/t Bumper... (Notice that is does have the lip on the bottom)
And no.. the mopar lip is total different than the rt lip...

So it's probably hard to find an r/t bumper I'm guessing. I might as well just go the srt bumper route instead, but I need something different than this stock '03 bumper that I have.

Wow that looks slick with the black projectors.
Drive it like you stole it, and work on it like you married it.
