I'm looking at different rear bumper ideas for an rd2. I've come across a cuda front and sides and was wondering if anything other than a cuda rear would good. Also, it'll need to look good and function with the apexi exhaust. The cuda rear I don't think will work out with the apexi exhaust especially since it angles out. Please help me out with some ideas and pics help.

Cuda C1 Rear HAS to have a custom exhaust. You cannot put an OEM fitting exhaust through the hole in the back. It doesn't sit in the same spot.

Best thing to do is make a custom exhaust setup if you get the Cuda C1 Rear. Another choice might be the Ixion kit rear. Over all that kit is similiar styling to the Cuda and the rear might match - Plus you can use an OEM fitting Exhaust with it, as it does not change the location of the exhaust port hole. Maybe even a Cuda 2 Rear.

Cuda 2 Rear:

that Ixion kit is really expensive though. i was thinking about that one but it's too costly. The cuda II rear was one of my choices but i want to see what else is out there. thanks

what about an rd2 rear lip kit? any of those I did a search and couldn't find much.

they have rear pods like mine..




and they have a lip in korea that alot of $$$.. its kinda subtle

then they have the G-games diffuser. which i will be adding to mine sometime soon.

i would personally go with the rear pods, but if i HAD to get a whole bumper, the MPS one..

looks ALOT better than cuda II IMO.

i dont like the cuda kit really, but if you ARE getting the cuda front and sides, you will want something bold in the back, and kinda low to match the rest of the kit.

yeah I've looked at the MPS kit and REALLY like the rear. much better than the cuda copy of it. But where can I get one and aren't they expensive too? If anyone knows where to get the mps rear or can give a rough estimate on price I'd appreciate it. Wait.... just looked at the pic more closely. versus eh? isn't chris (flyryde) supposed to start carrying that? what's the status on that? since it seems he's a wee bit clogged up right now. Versus has it for $295 shipped. Not too bad I suppose. Definitally will keep this in mind.

What does that diffuser look like? I'll do a search to see if I can find some pics. I think I saw a thread about it earlier.

I really don't care if it's a lipkit or a full bumper I just want something that can look good with the rest of the kit. and there is no way in hell I want that VS rear. It just wouldn't match and I don't like it anyways.
eh... the search goes on.
