Default Front fascia question

I really need to put something on the front of my car so it doesn't look so plain. I can't afford a full body kit and the CDC chin is just too expensive for what it is, I'd rather get a replacement bumper.

I'm torn between the Roush and Saleen Heritage fronts but I don't know which would look best with my current setup.

So the question is, looking at my car below which do you think would look best on my car? Additional suggestions are welcome.

Tough choice, those are both good looking front ends. I, however, am partial to the Roush.

Do you have the whole body kit or just the front? Because I'm worried it might look too front heavy without the rest of the kit.

I have just the Roush front end right now, without the chin spoiler installed, and it is perfectly balanced from the side. I will install the chin spoiler once I get the Cervini side exhaust to maintain an even appearance. Like you, I was worried about it looking "front heavy" without any other body parts, but once I got it on, I knew it was right. I haven't even opened the box with the chin spoiler because I will not even think about putting it on until the side exhaust and skirts are ready. I'll try to get a side photo and post it for you to see.

As you can see the rouch front and tail is on my list. Can run all of the lights at the same time?

i think you should go with the heritage. as seen in the pic, the side skirts and rear are almost identical to stock gt parts. as oppose to the roush where the sides and rear compliment the front fascia.

I'd go Roush, mines being installed today. The 427's don't have side skirts/exhaust and i think they look good.
