Nope. The CDC classic does not flow well like the GT/CS bumper does. The GT/CS bumper looks natural, but the CDC classic looks oviously "stuck on". I bought a CDC classic and pre-fit it to my car, but it just didn't look natural on the car....especially the sides. I returned it.

RE: gt/cs bumper swap
I will say this about chin spoilers.
When my car was stock (or nearly stock), I thought the front was missing something, like a chin spoiler. I bought a legend chin spoiler, and I like it a lot, but since I am now running wider tires, I don't notice anything "missing" about the front bumper. The wider tires make the front of the car look much more aggressive. So...my advice is that if you're planning on getting wider tires, wait to decide on a chin spoiler until after you get the tires. You may decide that you don't need one.

The front fascia is available from Ford as an accessory with a MSRP of $399.

RE: gt/cs bumper swap
yeah I like the cdc but i just don't like the way the sides look. i think the front looks great but it's in the sides that you can see it's stuck on. don't get me wrong i think it's a really nice piece but the gt/cs front looks just like that only perfectly molded in.
