I cant quite make it out, but basically if theres a cutout for the exhaust, then it is.

Is it just me but i thought all the mk2 rear bumpers were the same. The only diffrence are the front bumpers.

No. Std ones & GSi are the same shape but GM made a kind of flat recess/cut out on a GSi one to make clearance for the HUGE oval backbox as fitted to the GSi.

in other words (almost) the same.

This is mainly due to the fact that the cars came from factory colour coded anyway, hense why they were flatter. If you bought a new one from GM, it would be bobbled and you'd have to attack it with some wet n dry!

Filler primer fills the "bobbles" on a std mk2 rear bumper, to make it look smooth like a gsi one.

You can buy fiberglass ones though! Theyre lighter and as smooth as a babys ****. Mine fits really well too which surprised me!

Can get them in a few places. I got mine by accident, i just ordered a pattern bumper from a body panel supplier and i ended up with an FG one.

My GSi skirts are FG too lol. All i need is the front bumper and ive got the full set!
