Why would you weld the strut bar on?

My suggestion would be to take off that ridiculous body kit and return it to stock. Put the doors back on the Lamborghini, where they belong. Put the wheels back on the Escalade. Return the interior back to mostly dark gray, I think I'd have to wear sunglasses in there.

Sorry to say, and I'm sure you put a lot of time in money into that Civic... I mean Mustang... But it's hideous. I think you've seen Fast and the Furious too many times.

With all the money you spent on physical appearance (I'm not gonna say looks, since that implies that it looks good...) you could have a clean looking car that actually gets out of it's own way. Instead you have a "Fast and Furious" looking turd that will be outrun my most 2000+ family sedans.

Now don't go getting your feelings hurt, you are the one who asked what people thought. So I told you. I'm probably speaking for most actual Mustang enthusiasts, as well.

as you can tell i asked for suggestions to get rid of the front bumper, i think its makes the car look like an angry chineese man, and it sticks out like a picnic table, i understand the whole mazzdstang thing thats why im here to get help, you dont have to be a complete dick. lambo doors i dont have t worry about it mch cause they stay down most of the time, the interior it not to bad but i do say the dimond plating floor mats take it over the edge. other than that, i plan on getting lighter wheels as it is instead of chrome but thats all i had to choose at the time, at least they are stock sizes and not ****in 22's

well back to other things any one do a V6 Long Rod 4.3 stroker, ported heads, ported intakes i heard that just a nice fly wheel, stage 2 possible 3 clutch, and upgrade rear end that it should all go in quiet fine with the stock transmission. and to anwser your question xpress it was done before i got it. Xemeth sorry if i called you a dick but you are i understand critisism hence is why i posted it im looking for suggestions, but i would like your opion truly on what type of front bumper i could get. or what are some posities, i know i have work to do and i got this car looking like this but im pretty sure this is a good place to start out on a car, better than most mustangs that people start out with, this one has a good foundation with someone's elses money dump into, now i can do it the way i like. so please help me out and be a family on this forum cause we are all on here for for friends in common we all have mustangs even though my mothers mustang was a mazda still means it has mustang blood.

It really depends on your budget as to what options for a new front bumper are..
