It shouldnt be. All of the exhuast hangers are mounted to the bumper supports not the actual bumper. So as long as the new bump lines up correctly it should fit. If it is tight you may need to get the muffler ceramis coated so that you dont melt your bumper. Just an idea.

Redz i think it's going to go sweet with the 18 in Koings... Just make sure there enough space to eliminate the melting situation.

he was laughing because of the amount you're going to have to pay to get it to fit.
vader kits are knock-offs of veilside (molds of molds of molds ...... u get the idea) so the fitment is HORRIBLE (almost 90% of the time anyway, you MIGHT be that lucky)
anyway, good luck. yes it will look nice, but you're gonna have to fork out a lot of dough to get a shop to paint, attach, and FIT it.
also 18s might rub, most people go with 17s.

as for your question, i don't think it will be that big of a deal if the exhaust is in the way. after all, they're a body shop..i wouldn't worry about it.

Sarcasm People Common .. SARCASM.. I’ve already expressed my feelings about 18 in Rims in NB.. Yeah I can’t see it being a problem if it’s already installed it’s not like the shop is going to be stupid enough to set the bumper right on it. Which shop? Henry’s in Moncton?
