Default Would a Roush Body Kit be Poser-Ish?

On my 2007 v6 auto (with dual exhausts), would a Roush body kit (this one http://www.americanmuscle.com/roush-...-body-kit.html) be poser-ish?

I REALLY like the Roush style.

Don't jump on me and tell me to go buy a real Roush.

Thanks

BTW - would I be able to keep my current side scoops and add front fender scoops?

Ehh it's a touchy subject. I'm personally not a fan of the 'all bark, no bite' cars

Roush did make an 09 V6 car that I thought looked cool. I think going for a complete V8 Roush look would be kind of poserish, but it's your car and if you like it then go for it.

That is pretty iffy.
Idk why I guess because Roush is suppose to be a bad *** pure performance car. And a V6 isn't exactly pure performance. Haha. The bottom line is that its your car you should do what you want.

I do understand what you're saying about the badges - and I had no plans on using them. My concern is with the rear bumper having ROUSH in big letters on the black part. I know - not exactly OBVIOUS - but thats my main poser concern.

I too don't like the "all bark, no bite" like previosly stated. Definately DO NOT put the badges on.

Have you thought about just doing the front bumper and rear spoiler like the Roush 427R?

I had that concern as well, so I went with a GT/CS rear bumper witht he Roush front bumper and wing.

Someone on here had their body shop fill in the letters on a stalker bumper, I've got no idea how much that would run, but that would be cool. But in the end, it's your car, do what you want.

I've always leaned towards the Roush and CS bumpers myself. Definitely not putting emblems on though.

Do it! Why not? It's your car..if you think that Roush kits look is cool..then make your car look cool!

Me, personally, I don't mind cars dressing up a bit as long as you maintain the emblems and don't play it off as something it's not. I have a Perf. White GT with Dark Blue Shelby Stipes and just bought as set of GT500 take off wheels.....I'm going to maintain the GT emblems and I don't think people are going to look down on a bit of dress-up.

People put on GT500 spoilers on GTs, CT/CS bumpers on non GT/CS cars, or GT front fascias on V6s. It's all the same! Just don't slap Roush Stage3 emblem your Sixxer.
