(this isn't my car, just a pic I pulled off of the internet)
I've had this car for 9 years, and I have never gotten used to the look of the rear end. It doesn't compare to the hatchback rear end. So I've been playing around with some photo editing software, all I did was move the bumper a couple inches closer and smoke the tail lights. If the bumper is just pulled in the tail lights look strange. So smoking out the tails seems to fix that. I should be able to do this by cutting my bumper (or a junkyard one), doesn't look too hard. And about 2 inches would be freed up if the styrofoam is removed from the back of the bumper. Upper Left: Original look Upper Right: bumper pulled in two inches Bottom Left: smoked tails only Bottom Right: smoked tails AND bumper pulled in
