WW G5 rear lip question
so i want to get the ww g5 body kit, I was wondering, my muffler, long time ago, put a hole in the bottom arch of my bumper, like where the exahust pipe goes, i was thinking of getting a new bumper and then putting the lip on , but will the lip cover it, can someone take pics of what the g5 lip covers underneath, i only see rear shots. all will be appreciated thanks

actually that si is nice looking. will look really good when its painted.
As far as the ww g5 rear, my exhaust is sitting to close to it so i had to cut the part out above the exhaust cuz it was melting it. my exhaust also doesnt come out far so it was staining the paint or leave burn marks. I have a white civic so it was turning a little part brown.
I guess ill have to get it moved down and over to the right.
Its not an underneath shot but you can kinda see that burn mark.

one thing to consider. I assume that you are installing or plan to install the bumper lip. But you also mentioned that you cut a hole on the oem bumper was this to clear your current exhaust pipe? if your installing the lip kit it will lessen the clearance from the tail pipe to the lip by about .5" - .75" as i recall. But an easy fix i found was go to a muffler shop and buy one or two longer rubber hangers on the muffler and depending how much space you need you can change one or both. I also found that by only changing one from one side or the other to a longer one i was able to center the tail pipe more on the cut out section on the lip kit if that makes sense? Down side is it makes the tail pipe that much closer to the ground and mine sometimes rubs minimal in my parking garage at work
