I am in the same conundrum. I can't decide between the 2, but the Roush front bumper is about half the cost of the GT500 front end.(I'm talking pre-painted roush front bumper vs non painted GT500 front end kit)

I like the GT500 much better, but a complete kit is 2K!!! So if you can afford the $$$ get the GT500! If not, Roush all the way!!!!

I'm in for the gt500 front end. Love mine and glad I went with it a few years ago.

The car was designed with the Shelby front end in mind, but if you don't have the HP to back it up then get the Roush.

^ I disagree. If you like the Shelby front end by all means buy it. Some owners prefer looks over speed.

The GT500 front is just plain Jane looking to me nothing special about it. Get what you think looks best though.

I love both, but I'm digging the Roush a little more. It really is a win-win situation you're in.
