Default Cobra R Bumper vs stock bumper

I'm picking up an 03' mustang on thursday and it currently has a cobra r bumper on it. The guy selling it to me has the stock bumper too, and its in perfect condition. I'm trying to decide whether I should stick with the bumper it has now, or go back to stock.

Here's a picture of how it looks now


It's a little scraped at the bottom because it's lowered in the front and the guy's wife was driving it

Amazing as the R bumper is, it serves a better use on the proper car. I'd say that car would look better with the stock bumper on it.

Go back to stock, no question about it. And while your returning things to stock, switch out those headlights too.

The stock headlights come with the car too, I'll probably end up switching back. Although, the headlights it has right now look awesome at night.

It also came with aftermarket taillights that i am not a fan of and will definitely be switching out

Here's a picture of a similar car with those taillights

If the headlights were smoked they would look better. I would switch the tailights too

I agree, they would look much better smoked. Honestly I don't think they look that bad in person, the picture doesn't give them justice.

The taillights, on the other hand, are ugly.

Sell both the R and stock bumpers and get a Terminator bumper cover
