Bomex rear bumper questions

I am planning on getting the Bomex rear bumper, I absolutely love it and think its one of the best looking ones Ive seen for a FC (dont care for the front bumper though). Anyways, after looking at the picture of it, it seems like it extends a little bit further that the stock one, and I was wondering if the exhaust would need to be extended also to avoid it being tucked under the bumper. I wondered if anyone had the rear bumper and could tell me if it really is longer, or just kinda looks like it in the pic. Thanks alot. Oh, by the way, my plans are to have the bomex rear and side skirts, along witht the spoiler from Erebuni in my attachment. Its gonna look sweeeeeet

I'd personally have to disagree on this rear bumper. Don't get me wrong, it gives the FC a more updated look, but I think it's kind of weird that Bomex omitted the side moulding off the front and rear bumpers but decided to leave it on for the side skirts. I just don't think that it all flows together. As for the extension of the rear bumper, it really doesn't seem that it's even extended at all. I wouldn't think that Bomex would make bad fitting kits.

Thats true it does look kinda weird without the molding, but if you picture that bumper with the moulding, itd look even stranger I think. Care to point me to any rear bumpers that you think look better, Im open to suggestions

I like the rear a lot but it does look weird without the moulding. I'm probably going to buy this bumper and have side moulding shaved. I think that looks sweet.

I love the R-Magic rear apron, but unfortunately, it's rather expensive. $550

other than that, the only other back pieces that are even somewhat affordable are the erebuni and corksport copies.

I don't like the rear bumper that much. I think that it's about 20 ft from the rest of the car.

I have some nice pictures of the Bomex rear skirt on my car along with the Bomex front spoiler and factory side skirts. I think it looks very nice. I don't have them on a site but if someone can post them on here I will send you the pics.
Thanks,
Ben
