Well, after much work on teh back bumper numerous times and with a body shop assistance, the back bumper will be a big expense to fix it :(
Now I need to decide which after market rear bumper I should get.
I would like AED but it will take five years to get but I would buy one used.
I will probably end up modifying the AAS one to fit some of my style.
Which bumper shoudl I go with?
AED - PontiacGA:

I like the first one and the fifth but the first one is the best IMO.

Well If I can get one used, I would.
But buying from AED won't be happening since I am waiting for my tails over a year.

Hopefully I can get one used but that is very unlikely.
The bumper continue to crack no matter what materials are used. The body shop has used Abs material too.
Would cost more to fix :(

accually i think the FX will flow with your car better cause of your front bumper.
but the AED rear with the front you have will not flow AT ALL
if you get the aed rear, get the aed front.
same with AAS get both if your going to do it

I appreciate your opinion but I really don't think the FX flows and I do see the AAS and AED because of the smoothness and roundness.
