Default Help me out here guys.

I don't post too often to ask questions but this time, I just need some ideas.
It's my Birthday today so I've decided to go and fix my car.

I've got a nice strong 2002 Mustang GT convertible that needs an entire body kit. Both bumpers and the side skirts are in horrible shape. None of them is really salvagable. Even one of my side scoops is in bad shape.

If you had an 02 mustang GT convertible, what side skirts, front bumper, and rear bumper would you get? I'm open to anyone's suggestions or taste right now as it might spark an interest.
It's white, I do have convertable speedster cover and light bar, I'm currently at stock ride height with stock bullitt wheels. I have a grille delete (painted white), everything else is stock.
I can get just about anything for cost or near cost so price isn't an issue.

Thanks for the help.

Personally, if I had to get a bodykit, I would go for the Saleen one. Call me a ricer, but I just love the way they look. Unfortunately, I am too poor to get one, plus I have to drive down my girlfriend's gravel road with a lot of potholes all the time.

Well, I actually do have a 2002 GT vert. I would go with a saleen kit. The 03/04 cobra kit is nice too but I feel it looks better on hardtops.

I'd go with a Saleen kit or a Roush kit if you can find one.

Quite honestly, I would return it back to stock form, buy a mach 1 chin spoiler and grill delete. Just my .02, I don't really enjoy body kits, but if you HAD to I would get the saleen kit I guess.

I'm starting to lean in the direction of stockish look but with cobra or bullitt side skirts and some other accents but a kit still isn't out of the question. I'll make my decision tomarrow.
