Default Gauging Interest - Urethane Rear Bumper with duckbill wing

I'll keep this short and sweet. We currently have the Xtreme rear bumper available, but it requires a bit more fit and finish than most guys would like. I have a new manufacturer that can build me the exact bumper or really similar in urethane...that will have an awesome fit and finish guaranteed. Now don't hold me to this, as I don't know what's the price will be yet. I will try to keep it as affordable as possible. I'm hoping to have it in the $599-699 range. It could go up a bit, but I'll do what I can to keep it low.

Here's a few pictures of what it would look like, it would just be urethane instead of fiberglass. Post up if interested

It looks really good, reminiscent of the 'Specter-Werkes" rear fascia, from a number of years ago.....however, I thought the story was that the S-W fascias took a lot of work to get fitted and looking proper.

If you could get them at a decent price point, and as previously stated, in a easily useable state, you might be on to something.

I think it would be a huge hit. Not likely a purchaser myself, but if this were available 2-3 years ago, I would have jumped on it.

I'm not usually a big fan of add on spoilers and such but I have to go with others in saying that the C5 should have come from the factory with that setup. I think its very complimentary to the beautiful lines of the c5. Very nice!! Take care!

Would the molded spoiler be a bit shorter? The current offering seems on the large side. I'd like to see it a half inch shorter perhaps. Either way I'd be interested!

Joel's wide body C5 with the CC rear. Looks significantly smaller from the front so I think it's perfect. This is the bumper that will be reproduced in urethane.

Is the stock bumper urethane?


I may be interested if prices don't go higher

I don't know the specific reactive resins used but it is a RRIM-produced piece so urethane-like and quite flexible.

Pete, if the fit and finish were as you say, and the price point stays where you say, give or take, I would be in.

These are your rear quarters and the ACI rear spoiler. I would replace with the Xtreme rear bumper as you have described.
