Might part it out Felix. ;)

I misread your post. Thought u said u wanted the Burb. Was parting it out if it doesnt sell, which means all the parts are compatible with ur rides. (wheels, drop, brakes, etc)

in all my 18 years of driving, I have used my spare maybe once, and that was a looooooong time ago. I understand the "insurance" behind it, but if I am planning on a long trip, I can always just throw a spare in the cargo area if I really want to. Otherwise, I live/work/hang out so close to home that if I had a blow out, I'd just have someone come help. And as another member mentioned, my spare won't fit on my Wilwood brakes anyhow.

I drive A LOT for work, probably 25k miles a year, and I need the cargo space for miscellaneous stuff. If I buy this I was thinking about making a block off plate where the exhaust would come through so it doesnt just look like an empty hole with nothing there.

Id be concerned about the transfer of heat from the exhaust pipe to the chrome extension, then to the bumper itself. Could cause paint peel or warping of the bumper.

I wouldn't be running the exhaust to bumper at all lol. I would basically be hidding it somewhere underneath and filling in the extension pieces so it didn't just look like an empty hole.

Some of my favorite holes are empty.
