Default Roush front bumper vs CS front bumper??

Hey guys, I came across an ad on Craigslist that had a Roush front bumper and a CS front bumper.

First of all I was wondering if either of those would even fit my v6?? They both look pretty dang good to me but Idk which one to pick. The Roush one looks pretty agressive but I love the CS. But Im not too good on this stuff so Lets hear some opinions!!!

Thanks for all the help guys =)

Both will fit a v6. You will need a different grille if you get either of the bumpers. As far as what one looks good I think it depends on what else you planning on doing. Either one looks great!

You also will need the lower radiator shield and front fender liners.
Your impact absorber can be shaved a bit since it's thicker on the sixxer.

I'm the opposite. The Roush is the best looking front end of any non-gt500 mustang styles.

As far as the fender liners and the radiator shield they aren't 100% necessary. We are running our sixer without them and all is well but if you're **** about details you'll notice a small gap in the wheel well at the bottom.

The Impact absorber is a molded hard foam piece that's attached in front of the actual steel bumper, both of which are under the bumper skin.

As Pascal said, you'll either need to get the GT one, or trim your existing one slightly to fit under the CS or Roush bumpers

Both of those bumpers look great in white. Between the two, I like the Roush a bit more, and it's not as commonly seen on the road as the CS bumper is.
