Keep the side skirts you have already, and get a GT500 front conversion. Also, eventually go with the black leather with red inserts as someone suggested already. Just my $.02
Get me all the parts I needto do aGT500 conversion and I'll give you a Grand!

I'll be adding GT front/rear bumpers in the next week or so hopefully, so that won't count towards my new mods.
I'd get the California Special bumpers instead... Then matched rocker panels, then lowering it and new seats (Black/Red)...

It would look awesome that way!

Lowering springs will be installed on Tuesday(with pics), and hopefully I'll be able to buy some red/black leather seats from the poster who was selling them.

To anyone who has purchased a front roush kit, where did you get yours, and how much did you pay?

Word of warning on the Roush kits going around the net, there's alot of them that are fiberglass, just make sure you're going after a urethane instead...

I keep seeing this kit on Ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...spagenameZWD1V


Fiberglass, and a Roush "style" fascia... for $299.

Well, you've got the right idea... Keep an eye on ebay for "scratch and dent special" Roush fronts from wrecked ones. Those are the urethane ones, and it will be worth the little bit extra instead of having to worry about it breaking every time you scrub or whatever. But beware, you might end up battling with me for one in the next few weeks... lol

Have you ever seen one of the roush knock off fronts? What is the quality like?
