2nd Gen Rear Bumper Swap

[DongLeeH]

Hello, just looking for some opinions on 2nd Gen to 4th gen rear bumper swaps.
Ricer? yea or nay?
Would anyone do this to their 2nd gen if supplied with a bracket kit?

Thanks

I think it's a good looking swap with the right exhaust tips. The tips to me can make or break the looks of it. Everyone's opinion will be different but I think it looks best with a rolled tip instead of a cut tip. Overall I think it looks good on yours the way it is now.

Thanks for the reply. I think you may be right. With a rolled tip, you'll have more visual prominence, might look more balanced with the bumper. Then again, the inside of the tips are thoroughly sooted. It could benefit from a cleaning to bring back some shine.

Looks OK from the back, but it doesn't look like it belongs when you look at it from the side

It is true. Definitely my least favorite aspect. If you were to remove the bed, you could probably do some creative cuts and bending to bring the gap to a minimum. There are a couple of other images around the internet of this exact swap, but I feel they're a little embellished; they only show the beauty shots. Figured I'd help show the reality of the swap.
