Has Anyone Done A Bumper Tuck Yet?

[MeganV6]

I went to ZNationals yesterday and saw a lot of Zs that had bumper tucks that looked good on them due to having a clean polished set of exhaust. Has anyone seen or know of anyone who has done a bumper tuck on the 8th gen accords?

Nope. Bumper tuck. Fold the center section of bumper further up to expose more of the exhaust.



Example of before:




and after:

Here's some cars actually worth some money. Notice how none of them show more than the tips (458, Veyron, Aventador)? God even the before pic offends my eyes.

That 350Z atleast has nice mufflers to show off. Our car has nothing "nice" to show if the bumper has been tucked.

That's pretty hideous. I get it that he spent $1200 on his exhaust and wants to show that off, but that in and of itself is ricey. Truly classy cars don't need to show off what's awesome underneath. If they did, they'd all have clear hoods and mirrors to see underneath. A Z is an entry-level sports car.

it's not bad... the tuck does give the rear some contour but ultimately i prefer low over high for body lines. definitely wouldn't work well on our accords though.

Seriously ugly...

What's next? Fender removal to show more suspension?

What I am curious about is how this "tuck" changes the airflow under the car. I've always wondered how much like a wind scoop the front edge of the rear bumper skin acts, and why it does not fly off, or at least get misshapen, in day-to-day driving by the forces tugging constantly at it. And how this "tuck" changes that dynamic. Maybe we have an aeronautical engineer amongst us who can add their voice here?

I loved the Prowler.
