Some have had good experiences with AmericanMuscle.com - many others not so much. To each his own I guess, but the service was crap and the quality of parts I ordered were just garbage.
I started noticing that other sites - JEGS.com, LateModelRestoration.com, CJponyparts.com, Stage3 etc. have in many cases much better prices on parts; which is great.
But the difference in Customer Service, shipping, follow through and overall satisfaction is night and day when you don't order from AM - I'd only suggest ordering from somewhere else just once to see the difference yourself.
I once thought AM was the best too at one point - but I quickly realized they **** on their customers (not always but def. on me) and the cold reality is - the senseless parading of AM users here on the FORUM and the spam they spread with every post was the only reason I didn't notice the other guys.
In the end, they are a volume based business. They don't need to satisfy every customer, just the majority. I've found ordering from the smaller volume based businesses has been the key to being happy because they have more time to focus on your order, needs and even the prices are better.

OP,
Like E_Cox310 said, its preference. I am in the process if setting up my ride with the GT500 rear bumper and will also do the chin spoiler. Some prefer simple and subtle, others like to go wild. Its all personal preference.
As long as you are happy and satisfied with what you add, that's all that matters.

I personally am going to (eventually, slow process for me) get a new hood (Cobra R), GT/CS Rear Cover, GT500 Spoiler [ I like Roush but I don't like the pieces you have to stick to the side] and the Cervini's GT500 style chin spoiler... I really like the look of it, subtle, but musclecar.

That's what I'm really searching for, a sublt but noticeable change. I was looking at the gt500 rear and cs front bumpers, but I thought maybe I should steer clear of those because it would be poser ish. Maybe is just me. I think I've seen too many poser Honda Toyota and jdm cars.

So I found this aftermarket kit by 3dCarbon, I kind of like it. It says its a 10pc kit, but im only interested in the front and rear bumpers. Thoughts on these? Sorry, my phone won't let me post the pictures.

I thought the same about the rear. You think I should go for the bumpers?
