Default need some help with body kit

hello to all......

i recently had a car accident and my entire front bumper is screwed. I know that a simple replacemnet could fix it but i was thinking of adding a body kit now that i have to spend some money. What i don't know is if these body kits am checking out are reliable . these are some of the links to them so you guys could give me an opinion. thank you all for your help and any input would be appreciated.

If none of these are any good could you guys recommend me some........(price is a factor so weight that in)...thank you for your time

Get a stock replacement, body kits don't belong on Mustangs.

i had a mustang with a body kit, got compliments from everyone. it looked really nice. the only thing on mustangs is side skirts dont meet up right. if you only do front bumper you are good. the other thing is just that its fiberglass and will crack easily. its well worth your money to find a urathane kit or the new z-fiber or whatever its called

Black widow makes me puke. If you're going to get a different bumper get a Cobra, Saleen, Roush, something like that, don't get that ugly ricer garbage.

heres my old stang with a kit. fiberglass can start cracking from being too hot or cold and just barely any pressure will cause it. even wind will cause it to flex if you dont have it fully secure. i do agree with onyx though, go with cobra saleen or roush just because of quality. the corba R is really cool. you will get alot of looks either way but if you want good quality get a oem style

heres a link to a pic of mine

dude, get something that doesn't change the appearance too much like the bw, maybe a saleen or cobra front bumper

thanks all of you for your input. No was not thinking of going ricer style ( black widow etc... i was hoping you guys would expand on material...fiberglass, urethane?......anyways you have all been very helpfull. Saleen is my first choice by the way. Thanks all
