Dont know how I missed this thread. Thats actually my car that Cruizin Concepts stole my pictures of and watermarked them as their own...Im actually pretty pissed off about it because they even published them in their ad in MM&FF.

Anyways, I dont think this really needs to be a debate. haha. Youre not comparing apples to apples if youre comparing this to a GT500 front...which I prefer by the way. lol. What you need to look at is cost. If you want something that isnt what pretty much everyone is doing these days, this bumper just opens a different avenue for you. Much more cost effective than a full GT500 front end. Dont get me wrong, there is nothing better looking then the cobra front end, but Im pretty happy with this bumper.

As for the lower grille. Dont like it? Not a big deal. You can run a stock GT500 lower grille or even the Super Snake grille with the brake coolers. (Which I am already planning on switching out to.) Dont like the upper grille? Not a problem either, just pick your favorite GT grille and your set.

As for the fitment and quality of this bumper, I have to hand it to Trufiber, it is DEFINITELY a nice fitting piece. Yes, it is fiber glass, but I have managed to bump it into a couple parking bumpers by accident, and nothing happened to it. My car was built as a SEMA car and has pretty much everything Trufiber makes for our cars installed. I am by no means swingin' on anyones nuts, just giving you guys an honest unbiased opinion.

I'm seriously thinking about this bumper. Do you have any other photos of the front that you would share with us?

Thanks.

Sure thing.







In the SEMA pics, that small gap between the bumper and the headlight is not because of the kit. Its because the guy who installed it (not Trufiber) didnt do it correctly. It has since been fixed.

Thanks rad_rod. Your photos look a lot better than the one that Trufiber uses (without permission ). It just looks squashed width-wise.

Its actually Cuizin Concepts that used them without my permission. I took these shots specifically for personal use and for Trufiber, so they have my permission to use the photos. Cruizin Concepts even watermarked them as their own, which is what really irks me.

I looked at that photo again and see the concepts wholesale across the bumper. Sorry Trufiber.

What do you have in the round holes in the bumper? Do they come that way from Trufiber?

They accept GT500 fog lights. I have them in there, but theyre tinted so they dont show up too well in photos. lol
