do it! this is my philosophy...i buy a performance part, then i buy a look good part, and repeat over and over. then at the end, you got a nice balance. your ride looks pretty sweet as it is though.

haha.....see pascal you are willing to pay 1700-2000 on the gt500 front but not 900 on the HIDs.....for me i would rather spend 1100 on the roush front and if i was to do the HIDs i would get 2008+ factory ones for 900....but i am not getting HIDs so I have 900 for my hood purchase instead
Its all in perspective.....some think spending 100 on appearance is a bad idea while others spend 10k+.....as long as you like it then that is all that matters.....but please, no cobra emblems

I have a pretty good eye sight and I'm also aware that the HIV are more efficient. Just not $900 to me, but I'm not gonna bash someone that spend the money on it.
I also agree with everything you said. Looks are very subjective (deciving too
). Remember the catfish and that grey ugly thing?And yes, no cobra badges. We don't need no stinkin' cobra badges!

Socal2fast your GO is jaw dropping HAWT, well done...very well done.
I have to ask where did you get the pony badges like that, or did you just have them painted?
I love the look of the GT500 front end, but I also equally love the stock fascia.
I say if you want the GT500 front then go for it, but if I were you I would leave it the way it is.
On HIDs, $900 is not worth it to me, the stock headlights are good enough.
My opinion is that your ride looks Fin’ sweet the way it is; in my book your exterior mods are done for now.
Save the money on those mods and put that $3,000 towards FI.

I love the look .. but if my car hadn't been wrecked and repaired by the insurance company ... I would not have shelled out the money myself for the conversion .... but since Progressive was paying ... what the heck!

Just an idea you can buy after market HID kits installed for half the price or install it yourself if you have the know how to save a few bucks I think your car looks great the way it is and I personally think there are better looking kits for cheaper If you are thinking about that much dough check out all your options first I really like the cervinis c500 kit but its not cheap either

I bought the car fully intending to do the switch. I was already researching where to get it before I got the car. There was just no wayI could leave it stock after I first saw the GT500 bumper in a magazine.
Is it worth the money?....not if you are talking about the parts themselves
Is it worth the happiness that the perfect front end gives you?.....to me it is.
