Default Opinion on potential mods to a GT/CS

High Guys,

I am a proud owner of a Black 2008 GT/CS. I am finally pulling the trigger on a TruFiber GTS-II Hood later this week. Of this I am certain but where I am having trouble making up my mind is whether I should swap out the GT/CS front fascia and replace it with the Roush.

What do you guys think?

I'm certain you'll get all manner of answers on this, thoroughly divided down the middle between the "yes, do it" and the "no, gt/cs front bumper is a classic". Really comes down to what you think looks best (nice choice of hoods, btw).

I myself will be changing out the front bumper and hood to Steeda, because I like the cowl on the Steeda and the aerodynamic claims of the front bumper, but either way, you can't lose (i.e. comes down to if you can afford it, and if you're happy with it).

Personally, the Roush front bumper is a nice looking piece, slightly overdone imho (everyone has it), and quite honestly I think the car would look just as good if you stood pat with the stock bumper.

My $0.02CDN (worth about $0.0198US).

Let the counter arguments begin.

I'd stick with the GT/CS front. Personally, I think it's the most tasteful front end you can get. And besides, isn't that a part of what you paid the extra for the CS for in the first place?

I love the gt/cs. I think it is the best looking kit out there. I would keep your bumper

I say keep the bumper and get the GTS-IV hood. It compliments the CS front nicely!

Keep the bumper. To me the roush bumper is over done (designed). If you get the roush, you should also do a fog (stock ones) delete, otherwise you'd have way too many lights.

Get the hood and get delete the fogs, and get the brake duct and fog kit from shelby for the GT.

Yeah, I think the Roush Front end might just be an infatuation. After having a couple of days to think about it and seeing a couple of other CS's on the road I decided to keep the CS front end! Thanks for the feed back! Hope to have pictures for you guys in the next few weeks!

Good decision keeping the CS front. IMO it's one of the best looking
