I'm not feeling it - I would just go GT500 conversion ... looks a lot more mean IMO

Do they offer a different lower grille? Those bars (top and three vertical ones) in the lower grille kill it for me. With a better set of grilles and different hood it should look great

I could be wrong but I think this bumper is fiberglass...
Not a good idea for street use, a little tap and you have a mess on your hands.
Overall, not a bad looking bumper

Yup the bumper itself is fiberglass, the chin spoiler however is carbon fiber. I don't know if it makes a difference or not. If you hit the bump hard enough its all gonna go regardless....

And shadow this was taken from the entire body kit description....

"The Trufiber T1 body kits utilize a front bumper replacement that resembles the Shelby GT500 and can use your factory or any aftermarket grille inserts"

I don't know if that's just for the upper grille or if that applies to being able to use the GT500 lower grill as well...

Did a quick photoshop of what i thought would improve it but still doesnt look great IMO
w/ and w/o fogs and pony

could someone make a gt500 bumper that just required new headlights and grill and not the rest of the gt500 conv stuff?

I think it will look hot with a Bullett grill or a black billet grill and the gt500 fogs in the bumper, and at a much lower price. Dont get me wrong, I think I am a fan of the GT500 front end but it will cost quite a few bucks more. Only you know what you can spend.

Not a bad option for the $. As said above though, it lacks the sleekness of the GT500 between the top and bottom grills. Just my opinion, but if you like it, do it, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, it's your car.

Essentially that is all the gt500 conversion is. The bumper, grilles, lights/fogs, splitter and structural parts add up fast

not a big fan...theres a reason why the gt500 is so expensive, it just looks so damn tight!
