Just finished up swapping a 18+ Rear Bumper on my 2017 Gt so I figured I would gather up all the information needed incase someone else would like to do so. Originally I had just cut my stock diffuser to fit my Roush active exhaust but I was never fond of how it looked nor did I like the look of any of the aftermarket quad tip valances.
This swap is compatible with any 15-17 Mustang. Keep in mind you will be required to run a quad tip exhaust with this diffuser.
Note there is one modification that needs to be made to the 18+ rear bumper. Ford changed the style of mounting tab by the outer side of the taillights. On the 18+ rear bumper grind down the ridges on the tab and cut a slit to match the tab on the 15-17 rear bumper.
Known Exhausts that will fit with no modification needed are the following:
15-17 Roush active exhaust
Any 15-17 Corsa exhaust with Corsa quad tips
Any 18+ Mustang gt exhaust
From the 15-17 Rear Bumper you will be able to reuse the following:
License Plate Lights
Trunk Release Button
Reverse Sensors
Wiring Harness
Side Marker Lights
Parts needed to put 18+ Rear Bumper on 15-17 Mustang (I purchased my parts from @LevittownFordParts )
Rear Bumper Cover
JR3Z-17K835-AAPTM (With Sensors)
JR3Z-17K835-APTM (Without Sensors)
Rear Valance
JR3Z-17F828-AA (Quad Tip)
Reflectors
JR3Z-15A448-A
JR3Z-15A449-A
Reverse Light
JR3Z-15500-A
Absorber
JR3Z-17E855-B
Inner Support
JR3Z-17754-A
Before: 15-17 Rear Bumper with Roush active exhuast with cut diffuser
After: 18+ Rear Bumper with Roush active exhaust (Note the new reflectors are not installed in the valance because I am still waiting for them to arrive)
*Update with the reflectors
