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

as much as i hate the op's idea, danzcool does have it ?correct? livable

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.

Or even a few of us sixxers running the GT500 front setup

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.
