Front fascias are the same, side skirts and rears (I'm pretty sure) are not.

The bumper is the big metal bar that goes across the front and rear of the car, under the fascia (sometimes called a bumper cover, but not a bumper).

i've heard that everything on the body is different from the back of the windshield and back. i tend to believe that. or maybe it was from the back of the door back. either way, the rear bumper is included.

Did you forget the fuel door is behind the rear wheel on the 2+2? This would almost undoubtedly affect the length of that area, which does include the rear valence.

... different products for the 2+0 and 2+2 rear valence.

yes... yes i did forget that all together. but thats also what i meant by researching it visit some sites that sell the body pieces and see if they are distributed separately for the 2 seater and 2+2. also, i've never seen a rear accessory that i have liked, i have seen some alright sides and good front fascias but i HATE all the rear ends. they just look like garbage compared to stock

Good question... what'd they (the twins are two brothers, Victor and Efrain) say when you asked them?








j/p, but it is a good question. I've never seen them for sale, I've never seen them on anyone's car, but they haven't said they're still working on them... almost seems like they just forgot about it. Or it's still in development.
