Default TORCH RED... FRONT END IDEAS?

Basically I have a 07 torch red gt with dual 10" white racing stripes and 18" polished bullitt wheels. I posted a pic ( before the polished bullitts and the 1.25 inch drop.)


I cant seem to find a front end I like (gt500 is too expensive)

I like the C\S front bumper , but i'm not sure how it would look like on a torch red, and how it would look with the stripes since I've never seen it.

I also like the Parnelli Jones front bumper but have yet to see it with stripes..

Another option is a street scene front bumper but again I cant seem to find any pics.

Does anyone have a Torch red with a different front bumper , or pics of one?

Thanks!

the problem with aftermarket kits like street scene is that the front bumper is going to be lower than your stock sideskirts. If you want a new bumper, I would get the GT/CS one. I'm getting mine in a week for my 08 GT, vista blue with white stripes.

I'd love to see a pic when it gets done.. Or one of a similar set up if you have one... The only ones ive seen with that fascia and stripes are shelby gt's, none of which come in medium colors (red, blue, orange, ETC)

Roush fronts are lower than stock bumpers as well, so you have to mess with sideskirts and rear fascias and stuff like that.

Are you looking for prepainted parts? I'm ordering mine from my local ford dealer, and it's going to cost me $350 for the bumper and $250 for paint.

i know that Branoman06GT just put a GT500 front end on his redfire GT. you should ask him for some pics so you always have another option. personally i think the GT/CS bumper would look the best, but that's JMO.

I'd go with the Roush Front Fascia, that's what I'm going to do soon.

if you went with the roush front fascia, you will be fine with the height in comparison to the stock side shirts...the 428r is proof....
