Default Need Help Deciding On New Front Fascia!

Here’s my dilemma:

I have an 08 GT lowered approx. 2” with Eibach Sportline Springs. I’m getting ready to redo the front end, and would prefer to put a completely new fascia on instead of a lip (just a personal preference). I want the final look to be lower than the stock front, but at the same time I am worried about spending a lot of $$$ for a bumper that will end up being too low and undrivable. I know there are already threads relating to this issue, but I am interested in specific feedback on the California Dream, Saleen PJ with lip, and the CS6/8 front fascia’s. I have seen the Cali Dream in person for about a minute and loved it, but have not seen the other two in person. The Cali Dream looks to be the lowest by far, but at the same time it looks borderline undriveable. Do you guys think it is lower than, let’s say, the CDC Aggressive Chin?

Here is a link to a really nice ride with the Cali Dream Front (one of the only pics you can find of it on the net)

Any thoughts/imputs on measurements or which ones you like would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking to decide on one ASAP.

Thanks!

how about the sgt/cali special as another option? a little more subtle and not too low at all...

I don't know what the part # is offhand, but there are some ford dealers online that you get them from. Best bet's to find a local dealer who will give you 10% over invoice, as there will be no shipping charges.

Same exact bumper than the GT/CS.
Dealer item only. $399 retail for the kit...

Here's a thread with all the p/n's fpr te GT/CS fascias. You are best served to get the accessory part as it comes with more of the required install pieces and is cheaper http://forums.themustangsource.com/s...40&postcount=1

One of the best places to get any Ford part is Tousley Ford in MN.

The CS6 fascia is very nice in person. If I wasn't set on the Saleen Heritage, I'd get that one.
