Default Rieger rear bumper....Yay or nay?? *pic*

I've gotta do something about the rear of my ti; I’ve got about 3" of ground clearance in the front and at least double that in the back! Lowering it any more is pretty much out of the question (i'm already running H&R race) so i was thinking the Rieger rear bumper would do the trick. Its a really aggressive look that i know not all of you may like, but the rear bumper choices for the ti are slim to nil. Nevertheless, opinions/suggestions please! Here's a pic to refresh your memory:

I like the look of it, but I think dual exhaust would really set it off.

I don't know where it came from, but I saw a ti around town the other day with an M3 style rear bumper. It wasn't an insert either, it was a full bumper. I waited around for a bit because I wanted to ask them about it but I didn't see them, then when I came back out the car was gone. Anyways, it looked really good.

That’s what i currently have; the m-tech rear bumper with the rear diffuser. It looks identical to the stock m3 bumper, but fit for the ti. You think i should just stick with that?

Front bumper and skirts are changeable, but I have yet to see anything that I think fits the lines of the car better than the M3 looking rear bumper.

Hangs way too low, in my opinion. Too much extra material. I like the M-tech better.

I like the M-tech as well, but hey, is what you like. I want the crystal clear lights. Where can I get those? Those are nice!
