Default DEL SOL owners - rear bumper question

I was wondering what you do about the rear bumper height. I have lowered my car about 2.5" and the front is ok. i have a front lip(not installed yet), but i was waiting till i found somthing better to do with the rear of the car. side profile... the front bumper is lower than the rear, by a large ammount. i was wondering if anyone had pics or ideas.
i do not like body kits, this is my dilema. i do not want to buy a bodykit rear bumper and i want somthing a litte cleaner looking.

any thoughts or opinions ?

That's with most hondas. There aren't a lot of lips that will fit onto the rear bumper of a Del Sol. There are still some, though, so look around. You can do that or just leave it the way it is. Or try body kits.

a rear lip on a Sol is really ugly IMHO because they do not compliment the shape of the car at all

How low is your rear ?



If I had a rear lip or bumper lower than this, I wouldn't be able to get towed via flat bed or jack my car up in the front that high...

I have an erebuni lip on my bumper and I think it looks good. Here's a link to what it looked like before I bought it: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=657437

And the rear bumper being higher off the ground and the front is just a Del Sol thing.
