New Southern Style Speed Rear Bumper Prototype Installed

Would it be possible for you to post a good detail picture of the right rear quarter? I am thinking hard about this but have Bushwacker Flares and am wondering how difficult it would be to blend them over the bumper. As much as I'd like to buy another SSS product It looks like it might be easier to fit them to the CBI offering right now.

I will see if i can take pics of that for you. So your thinking of attaching the Bushwacker flare section to the steel bumper?
 
You'd just need to cut them at the panel line. You do NOT want to attach something from the body to a part connected to the frame. If you're gonna do that you're gonna have a bad time.

I'm still working on a filler plate using thinner gauge steel that will bolt to the bumper and also to the body of the truck using pre existing bolt holes. I was a little under the gun to get this prototype developed so some finishing details are still to be done.

Hey SS. I know I asked this before but, now that the group buy is underway I would really like to see how the bumper interfaces with the inside of the rear hatch to the body of the truck. Funny enough that usually becomes a deciding factor for me. Any chance we can see some photos now?

Thanks for the reply but I went ahead and ordered a CBI after looking at them both. I think it'll be easier to blend the flares into the top of that. I really wanted to get the SSS bumper to stay with the front bumper and I like his product. But I won't just undo the flares to make it fit.
[MENTION=124732]LawnDart[/MENTION], had I ordered this one I was going to try to blend the flares in to the line along the rear fender. They would have still been attached around the inner fender by my reckoning, but since the flares are also designed to use the original mudflap I couldn't figure out a way to fill in those gaps. I won't have to worry about that since I'm trimming the bottom of the rear part this way. It will just terminate at the top of the CBI bumper.
 
Will the frame cut for the high hitch option be the same as the Lexus 460 instructions on your website, or are we slicing in half? Thank you
