Mintblue type 2 rear.

[RODSCALIP5]

I just got back from P.J. Bonefacios body shop, and we found something that was intresting. The type 2 rear actually does fit on a U.S.-spec rear. It's a tight fight, but it fits. He said all it needed was a little modding and that would be it, but nothing major. So I just wanted to share that in case some of you are thinking of getting a j-spec rear. At least for me it'll be much cheaper not get the J-spec rear, i got as hook up .

Nope, didn't have my camera with me, I'll be taking it there next week to have it done.

 

[tttP5]

so what type of minor modding is needed? and about how much?

 

[SP33D]

and then how much would the entire kit cost all together? and do they make it for the MSP?

refresh me what the type 2 looks like again, as my mintblue bumper is sitting behind me on the ground, with cob webs on it, I forgot what type it is, lol

 

[MP3skaterNC]

type 2 is the one with the defusers its the one on mracer's car, the type 1 is like protege5girlie's rear.

good job! good to know dude - chris

Must be nice --- wonder what is different between the 2 ... or if its just positioned differently (lower) on the bumper. With my Type 1 there was NO way to get it to fit correctly on the US bumper. Our bumpers were about 4-6 inches too "deep" for the kit to fit. I only paid about $135 in total for my JDM rear so I feel it was well worth it to not have to chop up a kit that was soo much $$ ... plus, having the real JDM rear keeps mine unique

Well, we couldn't put it on all the way to were it was suppose to go, we were off by 1 inch. So he said he could fix that without a problem, and while we were putting it on the top crack a little because it was such a tight fit. He said not to worry about those little cracks because it was just fiberglass anyway and it could be fixed unlike urethane. I trust this dude, he's done alot of rides for my friends, all show winners and he just did my friends civic. He has immaculate work and he's hooking me up

 

[RODSCALIP5]

Yeah, we came from the bottom up and then snap it just fell into place, there was small gaps were the screws go but nothing big. Taking it off was a b**** because of the tight fit.

 

[Protege5Gurly]

We couldnt even slide the rear on from the bottom -- the side "lips" that go into the wheel well wouldnt get past the bumper

think a PR5 would look good without the mintblue type 2 rear and just the front and side skirts from the mintblue?

 

[Protege5Gurly]

I had the front and sides on for a few weeks by themselves and the car looks dumb without a matching rear piece. The car is so much lower all around and then just cuts off in the rear.

[FlannelBoy711]

any other rear that might look good? cause im not liking the mint blue

 

[RODSCALIP5]

I think it looks o.k., but it's missing something. Mintblue has the best rears for the P5.

 

[FlannelBoy711]

I never use this, but the side view is "tight", but ur right it is missing something, can i get a side view with the rear?
