I agree 100%. The rear kills it
Well, I went back to the shop and starred at it for about an hour or so. It was finished up and fleeced and ready for glassing. I deceided against going forward that design so Im having the rear bumper redesigned and it will be tapering in more. It will taper into the stock bumper towards the very bottom of it. The bumper will still be widened a bit but it will show tire to give it that aggressive look.

Good choice. The taper I did in the Photoshop looked better I think. Not correct as it was just quick...But better!

So I decided against the old rear design as some of you know and changed a lot of it. The rear now tapers in at the lowest part of the taper 3.5 inches of tire is showing. The rear bumper as been modified a bit to extend out more to match the width. The tow hook cap as well as the left exhaust outlet has been shaved. My exhaust will be slightly adjusted a bit more to sit more to the right and slightly up its not even center at the moment.

Once again guys I appreciate all the comments and input with idea's and all I'm glad alot of you guys spoke your mind which really led me to this new look. THANX! =)

Here are some of the pix of the new rear! sry for the crappy quality I didn't get a chance to get up there to take pix and have to deal with cell pix.

side shot. Still need to make some finishing touches but its almost ready for paint!


Here's some different angles of the rear. Im much happier with this new design over the previous one. I think this is a nice happy medium to having the flare taper in and showing tire while still making the rear appear much wider.







These are the right and left rear arches I had him bring the rear bumper slightly inward to close the gap between the tire and rear bumper a bit to make it almost symmetrical to the opposite side.
