this bumper's rear skirts are very prominent and defined all throughout... from where they start near the licence place area, all the way to the back of the rear wheel...

as opposed to this bumper, where the skirt start off somewhat defined, then pretty much taper off as they come closer to the rear wheels...

(BTW...Spooln 7, I hope you don't mind me usin a pic of your car. I saw it posted in another thread...)

LOL Joel, thanx for the opinion lol. While we're at it, I'm a bigger fan of the first pic. I think the defined skirts are key to the look...but to each his own

I don't think the second pic is CWest at all... Looks more like A'pexi, but I could be wrong.

Edit: I just looked at some pics of the A'pexi rear bumper and that is not it. I not a CWest N1 though, maybe an older CWest bumper?

Ethan...that's what I was trying to figure out...cuz there are places that will sell you that bumper as a C west rear bumper

I know C west has diff front bumpers (i believe there are 3 diff ones) and 2 diff types of sideskirts, but i never heard of a diff rear bumper...

maybe that's the case. but I'm tryin to see if this is all just guesswork & stipulation, or does anyone know for sure??

Cwest makes or made 2 different rear bumpers. The second one is the old version. I think they discontinued the older verson cause I haven't seen anyone selling them for quite some time

i thought it was pretty obvious, but i guess alot of people missed it.

THey are of course both C-west. The first one is meant for dual exhuast. It has two openings in the bumper. I dont remember C-west selling a bumper like, that, so i think its a custom cut, but dont quote me.

Inis...it obviously looked a lot like the c west bumper, but I wasn't sure if c west made it or it was a knock-off w/ minor differences...

As for the dual exhaust part, actually I'm pretty sure that bumper always comes like that (the one in the 1st pic)

Are there even any FDs w/ dual exhaust? Cuz I've never seen/heard of it before...

The C-west bumper do not come with two cut outs for dual exhuasts. Even the replicas only come with one. Like i said, im pretty sure its a custom job. And the only people with dual FD exhuasts are the ones the break it into two right after the gas tank, which has no function. Its just a looks thing.

The car in the first pic is actually my friend's FD, and for some reason he gets a LOT of attention and questions about his rims (I only say that cuz they're just not to my taste so I find it interesting haha)

but here's what he had to say:

<< well i have racing beat springs with ohlins shocks. and the rims i have are from japan. the brand is longchamp but they were made by ssr. the rims are 17by 8.5 in front and 17 by 9.5 in rear >>

Inis...the bumper does come w/ two openings, althought only one is meant for an exhaust (it's *SLIGHTLY* higher and rounder on the passenger side). But that's how the bumper comes.

I know this cuz I have a C-west rear bumper (which I've been trying to sell haha) and it's just like the one in the first pic.

Take a look...
