Retro Chrome bumpers for 05-09 Mustang
 
Has anyone seen these retro bumpers at www.retrousa.net? They look good but seem a little high. They are $399 for each the front and back bumpers. Here is a link:

somewhere from the persons brain, to there hand lost track (cool idea, but turned out bad)

someone posted those awhile ago. they def are......ugly

Funny how the ugliest schit is always overpriced...
Oh, and if this product had any chance to look good, it wouldn't be on a GO car.

OP, no offense though.
The idea would have worked if it was somehow, a real chrome bumper with upper and lower valence like the old days.
But a stick on plastic pad...errr, no.

I dunno, I go back and forth on the whole chrome/retro issue. I collect classic cars, and although I like the retro feel to our Mustangs for that reason, and have added a few retro touches like the Hurst Shifter, a "Hurst Equipped" emblem on the back, rocker stripes, a metal '67-'69 dash emblem and will be adding the spread M U S T A N G metal letters to the deck, but I've avoided adding plastic chrome parts to the outside, like mirrors, door handles, etc. Just doesn't seem real. If I wanted a chrome bumpered '68 Stang, I'd get one. This is a 2006. I don't fault anyone's expression of their Mustang, to each his own, but to me that chrome stuff seems too fake.

Sorry but the whole "Bling" thing killed chrome for me.
