Default Mix and Match

So I know that there are plenty of you guys out there that see mixing body kit parts as a sin, and others that really like it. I have a bunch of pieces that I like from different kits that I think would build a BA looking mustang.. Let me know what you think......

- Rousch Front Fascia w/ chin spoiler + fog lights, roush 3-pc. rear spoiler, roush window louvers

- Razzi side skirts, Razzi rear bumper OR 3D Carbon rear bumper valence lip

- Eleanor hood

I know it sounds like a mess, but if you research the parts, it seems like it would be sick. Tell me your honest opinions..

the point of adding aftermarket body kits is to customize the car to your taste. If you like certain parts of a kit and you want to mix them, there is nothing wrong with that. It will make your car more unique. As long as you like it, that's all that matters.

I'm not a huge fan of the Rousch front fascia but if you like it go for it... I love the Eleanor hood! Mix it up!

True, but I thought maybe someone might have something even a little bit similar so that i know it wont look completely fugged up.. Not like this would be a cheap change haha

I don't see a problem with mix and matching different brands and styles as long as you do it tastefully. The only thing on your list that I don't care for is the Razzi rear bumper. I would go with the California special bumper instead. Otherwise I think it would look good.

I think the ROUSH FRONT + RAZZI REAR combo will work
I would just warn you on the RAZZI SIDESKIRTS... I had them on my car and they were way too low and too bulky looking, something like streetscene skirts will be better...

AGREED.

I mixed and match because I didn't want to be specific to 1 brand and to make it unique...

+1 I'm not a big fan of the Razzi rear either. I'd use the CS rear.
