Default Front Bumper Suggestions

I really needto get rid ofmyfront bumper because the stock V6 one looks really weak. But I eventually want to get side exhaust done so I'm looking for something that will look good without having to buy new side skirtsand a new rear bumper. I was thinking about just getting a GT bumper and adding a chin spoiler. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Without replacing the rear bumper, any front bumper you put on it will make the car look uneven and appropriate.

If you do replace the front one let me know. I have a brand new Street Scene bumper with the hardware that has never been used. Its just chilling in the attic.

2 problems with what your saying..like already mentioned getting a new front bumper without doing something to the rear will not look good, what you can do and may be cheaper is get a chin spoiler on the V6 front bumper, and put a GT or GT/CS rear on for dual exhaust. which i know contradicts what you said abuot wanting side exit exhaust. but without replacing the side skirts with ones designed for side exit, it looks like crap

I know I would have to get side skirts with the side exhaust that's why I didn't want to get side skirts until I got it done. I was just trying to find out if there were any front bumpers that wouldn't look bad without changing anything else. But I kinda figured that I would just have to get a chin spoiler or get the gt bumper for now.
