Posted October 12, 20168 yr Ok, so over the winter I'm looking at dropping the rear subframe and fitting new bushes, checking the brakes line etc and re coating the Underside with Dinitrol again. Whilst doing this I am going to take the rear bumper off, check everything else out. Now the Zenon and Demon rear bumperthat are made for the wide arch kit, from Zed Centre I think look very dated now, and I am thinking of changing the look of the rear. I think that the tailpipes could be larger, and look at little lost on the current setup Trouble is with having the wide arse kit, fitting a new bumper will not blend in with the rear wing fillers. Now I'm sure that a good body shop will be able to sort that out and marry up the two panels, but going the Twinz route isn't cheap I guess. But would give me way more exhaust options aswell? I really like the look of the Twinz rear bumper, and love the exhaust setup below from Z1 Decisions decisions...... Incase you haven't the exhaust from this PG system Edited October 12, 20168 yr by bigh
October 12, 20168 yr Perhaps if you ask Daz nicely enough... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?174388-Bit-of-progress&p=1806698&viewfull=1#post1806698 Perhaps without the custom exhaust jobbies but whatever floats your boat... Overall one of my favorite custom bumpers [emoji3] Edited October 13, 20168 yr by Alic
October 13, 20168 yr It's a shame that you can't buy a 2+2 rear bumper in the 2+0 diamensions. The twinZ one does this but you end up with the diffuser which I'm going off ATM.
October 13, 20168 yr Howard, is your car a LWB or SWB?? The PG system is for shorties only as far as I know.

Yes that would be ideal Stephen. I am a fan of the diffuser tbh. I may have solution where I can adapt a bumper that fits to the filler sections on the rear panels, and look at modifying the under side to fit a Twinz diffuser, or make one myself. How hard can it be :whistling:
October 13, 20168 yr I think if you buy the twinZ full bumper it has those diamensions but the diffuser is moulded on.
October 13, 20168 yr As the twinz rear is fibreglass Howard im sure it can be modified and blended to fit,the diffuser will look good too.
October 19, 20168 yr Author I have finally found a rear bumper that I would be happy with. Unfortunately it was not designed for a LWB:angry:, so I am looking at adapting a spare Strosek bumper that I will be getting from Alic shortly. This isn't going to be a quick fix, as with the help of my brother, who used to work with CF and mounds etc, I will be doing all the work myself. I will update this thread over the coming months, with my progress.
