    Late Model Rear Bumper Valence Questions

    Long story short I don't like the M Tech 2 front bumper but I like the M Tech 2 rear bumper (specifically the rear lower "valence) part of it. I like the stock plastic front bumper.

    Now I understand mixing these two will not match from a side view.

    Then I came across this product from DTMFIBERWERKZ:






    Only thing is I HATE aftermarket body panels. But this gave me an idea, and would allow the front to match the rear of the car. Has anyone installed this piece from DTM? Comments?

    So I have a couple of questions.

    First off, for those who have first hand knowledge with a genuine M Tech 2 rear bumper, is it possible to "disassemble" the valence and the bumper? Or would I have to cut it?

    If I could somehow disassemble the rear M Tech bumper, do I have room on the upper valence area (looking straight down from above the car) to somehow affix it to the bottom of the stock rear bumper?

    My second question is does anyone other than DTM (maybe someone in europe) make this rear valence for use with the stock rear bumper? Perhaps of high quality...

    I'd hate to hack up a M Tech 2 rear bumper, but if I have to I have to. Affixing it to the stock rear bumper looks like it will be a challenge.

    Perhaps there are similar looking aftermarket rear valence options I've overlooked that will allow me to use my stock rear bumper?

    The M-Tech 2 rear bumper is one piece, not two separate pieces. You could cut them apart, but it would take quite a bit of work to make things fit and mount well. It would probably be close to the same amount of work it would take to make an aftermarket part fit correctly.
