Is GT500 front end on a GT being a "poser"?
#22
I received a lot of what I expected to receive. I think I'm going to go with it, although it will be a few months until it's completed, it gives me some time to start gathering pieces and information. I'm not trying to imitate a GT500 in any sense, I just LOVE the look of the aggressive front ends. I like the stock rear, but I could always change it out of for whatever reason it just doesn't seem right. I wish I could have a 2011 with the 05-09 rear...if only

Go fo it, I'm of the opinion that it's the badges that have the poser factor. I've got a roush front end, but didn't swap to roush badges because I don't have a roush, I have something better. If I swapped badges it would be to something custom or at least not available on the 2005-9 models.
i hope, with all your time here you aren't serious and are just poking the fire, lol...upgrading the ***** on my wife doesn't make her sasha grey, and NO amount of mods ever will (make a non roush a roush)

I personally don't see anything wrong with replacing with the GT500 front end, as long as you don't intend to put the badges on, which you already stated you are not. ;-) There are many sixxers out there that upgraded their front/back bumpers for the GT and are not considered posers. They are just looking for a more agressive look. My sixxer came with Cobra R wheels, when I purchased it used. I took out the Cobra center caps and replaced with the "M" flames, so I would not look like a poser.

I'm with the majority on this, go with whatever body parts look good to you, just don't badge it up as something it's not, and no one reasonable should have a problem with it.

Thanks alot for the input guys. For the most part you all feel the same way as me. I just love the aggressive look, I am not trying to fool anyone into thinking I have a GT500 or anything like that. You guys got it right on about the 6ers with GT bumpers. Just as long as they aren't trying to fool anyone.
