Default Mix and Match Body Kit

I was looking for something distinctive, but not way too out there and god forbid... rice. I decided on a little setup but I was wondering how it't look and if anyone's seen it. I want to take the cobra r front bumper, leave the standard v6 side skirts, and an 03 cobra rear bumper. Anyone think it'll look weird or what're the thoughts. Please refrain from opinions that go something like "I don't like the cobra r bumper." I'm looking for whether or not it'll blend smooth enough.

Im not too sure about blending but the 03-04 front bumper doesnt look shabby personally the cobra r would be more towards the track racing such as road racing

Yeah, but that doesn't help me at all >.< I just wanted to know if it'd blend with the standard side skirts or if I should buy new ones.

I think you should stick with one style all the way around... or atleast the bumbers match and sideskirts match...

the cobra r front doesnt really blend that well w/ the stock side skirts. i dont know how the actual cobra r pulls it off. it sits a lot lower than the side skirts doo. you could try some 03/04 cobra sideskirts. they look really nice and clean and should make the skirts look a little lower to help it blend. the cobra rear would be awesome.

Just get some Saleen or Cobra R side skirts and it will be good to go.

the Cobra R sideskirts are the same with the exception of a slight cut-out for the side-exit exhaust ....

if you are SET on the Cobra R front bumper i would either do the Bullitt sideskirts because they have that little "flap" behind the front wheel that will kinda trick your eye into blending it in with the front bumper (when looking at the car from the side)...if you get the Cobra rear bumper please tell me that you are having the letters filled???...why not just go with a complete Roush bodykit?...they fit better than the Saleen kits and they are the same level all the way around
