Look Ma! No Reflector!
I decided to backdate my rear bumper while installing my new exhaust. Yes, it's an M&K with a small tweak. I'll add a few more pictures as I get further along. It was pretty scary going after my car with the drill and cutting tool. A couple of the holes were enlarged to get all the spot weld. It isn't pretty, but it will be hidden most of the time and the rest of my car is not pretty, anyway. I need to sell some parts so I can buy a Steve Wong chip and some 911 R style taillight housings.
Thanks to the pioneers that posted before so I knew to cut off my extended bumper mount and the mounting arms on my 73 RS style rear bumper. Here is a recent "before" picture.  Here is where it is tonight.  There's no turning back.........

Dutchie,

Sorry - I'm slow - are you installing a backdated RS style bumper? If so, can I have your old bumper?
