I don't see why you would not be able to. The cars are dimensionally the same last I checked.

it should be possible. I don't think it would be a good idea financially though.

i was thinking about actually putting on the ralliart rear bumper and having a dual exhuast made, anyone think that would work? again i think the bodys of the car are basically identical so i don't see why not. i could see them like changing the mounting points by a few inches or something though just to **** us off.

Well, I expect that you will get them from the dealer (which is the only one who has them) and they charge a lot for OEM parts. But I don't know how much you're prepared to spend.

The dealer I spoke to said that it's $550 and they have to order it in, but also that unlike the X bumpers, this one does not come painted..

Someone already did it! It's out there on another forum, I really don't see a point though it doesn't look that much different. IMO the RalliArt front end is more dull looking than the GTS's.

your right, I alreday looked into it. If you have a aftermarket single exit exhaust on your car like the rrm axle back lets say, the cut out will not line up on the ralliart bumper. the ralliarts cutout is further in towards the plate. while the gts's is out more. get what im saying? so if you did do the ralliart bumper with the stock exhaust or aftermarket, you will still have to modifiy it to fit.

Hey all,

I have done that... Front bumper, rear bumper, Ralliart dual exhaust. I'm not sure if the car's ECU is right or wrong but after the exhaust upgrade fuel consum. has increased. I get extra 6 to 7km/Litre.

I will post the rear bumper picture soon
