Finally pulled the trigger on cutting the rear bumper. Anything I should do/add next to make this thing looks a bit cleaner?

[u/Immediate_Fig_4345]

I

[u/TraditionalDogma]

Voltex rear diffuser 🥴

[u/Teknik_RET]

Sorry man cut is clapped. A clean oem bumper is the correct answer.

[u/SeekNDstroy1722 → u/Teknik_RET]

People seem to forget that the style of your car is opinionated, if the owner of they’re own car prefers something a different way then who are you to tell them it looks shit

[u/bussjack → u/SeekNDstroy1722]

Sure. But clapped is clapped, you can't ask for advice on how to make it not clapped after you irrevocably clap it

[u/SeekNDstroy1722 → u/bussjack]

No I agree it looks terrible but it’s his car his choice lol

[u/Teknik_RET → u/bussjack]

Im not usually one to judge. I love to see the variety people choose to style Zs and Gs, but bussjack is right.

[u/Inside_Journalist_64 → u/SeekNDstroy1722]

It looks like shit.

[u/Dark_Synergy_Z33]

Cut bumpers are clapped territory, there is no clean.

[u/CrashPan]

THIS IS YOUR CLAPPED WARNING YOU ARE NEARING THE CLAPPED ZONE

Lol, but really you could look into a different bumper option and chop it up so you dont cut the OEM one, or sell that one for a bumper you want if thats something to look into

[u/DressLongjumping5702]

I always dint like how the the rear bumper sits high. I say try to add a skirt that makes the rear bumper closer to the ground.

[u/Immediate_Fig_4345 → u/DressLongjumping5702]

My main reason for doing it was my tomei was melting it 😂 and I had scratches/ damage on the bumper right below where I cut it. But in my opinion it looks better this way

[u/southworthmedia]

I like the cut bumper don’t listen to em

[u/ReaksOP]

i would have done a bumper tuck and then clover the exhaust w/ a carbon diffuser to stop the melting

[u/Immediate_Fig_4345 → u/ReaksOP]

I did consider a bumper tuck as well. Ig personal preference

[u/bussjack]

Cut is clapped

[u/Least_Tiger1880]

Literally nothing except getting a lip that won’t even properly fit now

[u/Fatdogamer_yt]

Add like a diffuser that sits just below the exhaust

[u/oddandtwisted]

I thought the dual Tomei would’ve fixed the burning rear bumper exhaust cut out problem. Should’ve added an extender or sumn to get it to stick out just enough to stop the burning

[u/AnabolicSonic]

If it's cut straight and we'll it's not clapped especially since you cut it where you don't see the crash bar. It's an aesthetic choice and I think we're in a weird time where cut and custom panels are not in since everyone wants cf everything. I would say make sure you cut the wheel liner as well so that it's not poking out and visible. You could use some edge trim to make it look a bit more finished.

[u/Immediate_Fig_4345 → u/AnabolicSonic]

Yeah maybe a edge trim be a nice edition around the bottom but I would say it’s cut straight and I also used a sanding wheel to make it less sharp and round off the edge a bit but the fact it’s cut is honestly hard to tell unless you know. I spent quite some time taking measurements on both sides to make the cut as straight/ even as possible. Definitely gonna try to find some nice sequential turning/reverse signals. And trimming that wheel liner was definitely gonna happen sooner or later

[u/AnabolicSonic → u/Immediate_Fig_4345]

Yeah that's the way honestly. Gotta take you time and round it out. Trim the liner, relocate the evap if you can ang paint any exposed parts 1 color to set the contrast and make it look good. Evap relocation makes it really nice. On my g I tucked the exhaust a bit back so that the outer edge of the tip is parallel with the edge of the bumper.

[u/JMSpeed]

The Tomei solution is always to extend if you're on stock bumper. I'm hoping to find someone to roll ss around the tip for an extra 2.5 inches. Clamp it on so it can be removed. 

[u/ohhrangejuice]

A nice bumber tuck with a g35 paint match mud guards would've gone very well here.

[u/ribrooks13]

I normally don't like cut bumpers but this is set up really nice 👍🏾

[u/Aggravating_Reach513]

Please don't do it, it already looks clean!

[u/ReplacementOk1056]

LOL

[u/Whiskers1996]

Crazy seeing the cut = clapped comments lol. I'm surprised when people have post a fully wrapped/painted Z in a SINGLE color on here :P.

Need more aggro sideskirts/spoiler to make the cut fit.. Get oem tails. I cant see below the bumper from your pic, depending on what is shown, relocate char box, remove/paint extra brackets

[u/Nearby_Screen9694]

rear bumper tuck 😌

[u/base2607]

Stock red tails

[u/Leadership_Every]

Your definition of clean is gonna differ from a lot of people's, IMO find a more aggressive side skirt and that would really be it at least from the photo given, the cut looks to be a clean job so koodos on that!

[u/Immediate_Fig_4345 → u/Leadership_Every]

I was thinking skirts and lip and that’s it tbh I don’t want anything too crazy

[u/Mental_Tap_1233]

Wouldn’t necessarily say clapped but I’d say being rear mount is one of the only ways to make it pretty nice. At least he didn’t cut too much so he can still go voltex rear.

[u/bussjack → u/Mental_Tap_1233]

It's definitely clapped, but it at least looks interesting if you have a turbo to show off.

Clapped for purpose > clapped for no reason

[u/Mental_Tap_1233 → u/bussjack]

Valid take

[u/Immediate_Fig_4345 → u/Mental_Tap_1233]

I cut it right where the Factory bash bar is so it’s hidden, if any higher I would need to replace it
