Default Saleen body parts on a GT?

What is the least amount of Saleen body parts you can add to a GT and not look ridiculous?

Here's what I mean. I really like the Saleen front bumper, but not the Saleen rear bumper.

Also, I like the style of the stock GT hood scoop and spoiler. I'm pretty sure Saleen hoods are dropped inlet and the spoiler is a dropped wing near the back of the trunk. I don't like either of those looks. I know most of you like the dropped spoiler or the delete, and I'm not a fan of either. I really just like the stock spoiler and the Steeda spoiler.

I even like the GT side scoops (other than the fake honeycomb). I'm not a fan of deleting them and I don't like the angle of the Saleen side scoops.

So......can I just put on the front bumper, and saleen style rocker stripes under the doors (they won't say saleen, they're gonna say Mustang in a cursive type script) and not look lame? And what if I ever decide to get that Steeda spoiler...will that match? Finally, down the road I'm gonna get a rollbar for the convertible, but to go with them I was thinking about getting a Saleen Speedster back seat cover. But Cervini makes one that's almost the same that's like half the price! Can I put those on and still look cool?

And If I get that steeda spoiler it will be a GT/Saleen/Steeda/Cervini frankenstein. But I think it would look pretty sweet.

Any thoughts?

Are their other Saleen body kit parts I didn't mention?

There's different ground effects under the door huh? I really like the Saleen Ground effects compared to the GT also. So I'd probably do that also.

Are there any other saleen parts I'm not mentioning?

There are door fillers too. I have seen them on the 94-98's, but I'm not sure if they do that for the 99-04's.

All that should be taken off of a New Edge Saleen cosmetically are the wheels and on some cars the spoiler.

I really like the front bumper way better than the stock one.

I really like 99, 01, and 03 Cobra front ends better than any Saleen front end. It would look unfinished if you got just the front anyway

It's your car so do what you like and what you think is good. Not everyone will like it but all that matters is what makes you smile. I'm trying to find pictures but I've seen some with just the front, just the front and roush sides and rear.

I think it could work. That picture looks pretty good. I'm trying to picture it as a convertible with a slighltly less exagerated spoiler.
