I do like the GT500 bumper and that would be a good choice but ask your self these questions...Are you looking to have your car look like a GT? or just put a different bumper on it? I however first put dual exhaust on my v6 bumper and just cut out the other side to fit, then i got a GT bumper and it fit perfectly. i know have the GT front bumper too and it looks just like a GT but i dont have any GT badges on it cause thats just not cool. its mostly up to what your thinking of doing with your car...

Hope these help, in the second pic u can see it a little better, by the wheel well it is just a little lower, prob no more then 1/4 of an inch lower then the actual seem where the bumper meets the body. its not enough to bother me and its not noticable unless you are looking for it. hope these help. also whatever color your stang is will determine how noticable it is. the darker it is the harder it will be to tell.

you are correct. it is a V6. I dont hide it, if somebody asks il admit it. but i def would not put a GT decal cause then id be a poser. and plus i plan on blowing her with new heads and cams, 13lb fuel injectors and a lightwieght driveshaft with 8.8 rear and 4.10 gears. running all that i should get somwhere in the 425 hp range, and if i can achieve that id be proud to say im a V6 cause then i took nothing and built it into something

HELL YA! I dont have any GT emblems on mine either and people tell me i should but im like no thats not cool. i love it even more when i beat every GT i race and then they pull up to me and ask what i got under the hood haha im like a v6 and it totally throws them off. your car does look nice and that body kit is one of the most clean ive seen. PROPS. when i had that rear emblem i found a black sticker with a silver stang on it and it was for that exactly, i put it over the one you have just over the horse and it made it to where people had no clue. note: this was before i had my GT bumper but i had dual flows and x-pipe and people were like thats a bada** GT. I swear there are some really dumb people in this world. One of my friends who has a GT with prolly $20,000 under the hood and another $10,000 on just wheels tires and body sh*t put the v6 emblem on his idk why but he just liked it more.
you never really know these days, but i like to think i do.

oh and your hood looks sick. i love mine but i would take yours and im selling my roush window louvers for $150 tomorrow to some guy off craiglist.

last thing, get some shelby side scoops. then your car would be perfect haha

I have seen his car in person and can say that i liked the rear end and the fit and finish of that part....like he said you have to look to see that it goes over.

HAHA dude you are trying to be a dick cause i so noticed that but wasnt going to say aything, and besides the california one looks a lot better cause im not to into having those black looking peices of plastic on my bumober esspecially like on the new 2010 i really do not like that back bumper at all.
but ya this was really funny!
the only thing i cant think of which would be cool but yet you could have just got the cali one is if you had them paint it like that...

ok here is yours and here is the GT500 notice it?

dude that is awesome looking. i think i may go with this 1, its a little cheaper and dont have to pay for customized exhaust. looks great. my car is satin silver, i'd like to see some silver stangs with the add ons

i purposely left mine black because i have a flat black scheme for the bottom of the car. the back is flat, the side skirts are flat, and the front chin for my PJ bumper is flat. so NO it doesnt really look like the new 2010's at all.

yes i kno i coulda just had it painted, but id break the pattern.

Not to thread jack, but Stang, is that an add on or the entire bumper? How did you do that or were did you get it from?
