I had a slight encounter with a large boulder the other day (don't ask) that will require some paint work on my front bumper cover. I am thinking of changing the whole thing to something aftermarket, but have not seen anything that totally grabs me. I've been shooting for a '67-'68 GT look and want something that kind of curves under as opposed to the "air dam" look of most aftermarket pieces. I like the GT500, but the grill shape is wrong. I actually like the V6 Pony package look a lot except for the license plate recess. I could almost live with that though. Then there's the Saleen PJ/Dan Gurney one which is great, but it's got the headlight splitters molded right in, which suggests 1970. Someone told me a good body guy could cut them off, but I don't know.

Thoughts?

Check out this front bumper and see what you think. It's like the Cervini's front bumper, but it is more curved.

oh, don't be scared of the price that is for the whole kit...

Thanks man, but not quite what I'm looking for. I'm leaning heavily toward the Saleen Heritage at this point. Plan to have the headlight splitters shaved.

what about the Foose bumper? don't know if you can find one of those anywhere...

I don't think the headlight splitters are an actual part of the bumper. I think they are separate add-on. I'm not 100% sure tho.

I've looked everywhere for just the bodykit (particularly the front fascia/headlights) . I have yet to find it. I came across an unfinished mold of it on ebay, but the guy wanted way too much and it didn't include mounting brackets or headlights....

Maybe this will change in the future.... I hope so

no, they are molded on. I actually just got the Saleen PJ/ Heritage front bumper and will have pics by wednesday. it is at the paint shop right now.

True, on a real Saleen front fascia they are part of the bumper and are thinner than some of the aftermarket "add on" splitters such as the 3DCarbon and such.

I also think they don't look that bad.
They don't strike me as "70's" at least IMO.
