Default Second thoughts

In an earlyer post I wrote about the cobra r bumper I bought for 40 bucks. Right now it is at a body shop waiting to get painted(but it will be another week cuz of being back up). But Im starting getting second thoughts about getting it painted and getting it put on. I know its much lower and I have to pay more attention to parking and pulling into certain places. And Im not so sure if I like the way it looks on the car. I also thought about buying another stock bumper get it painted and put on a chin spoiler. In your opinion what would you all do??

I would get the cobra r bumper, yeah you'll have to drive it like its worth $200,000 but the look is badass. I have the chin spoiler and i'll scrape going into dips. I saw a cobra r bumper upclose and I barely was able to fit three fingers between the bumper and the ground.

I prefer the chin spoiler. I just think it looks a little wierd when someone has the Cobra R bumper and stock everthing else. Just my two cents.

I mightjust forget even putting it on because I really don't feel like wasting the money on a body kit. I like a car to look good but im more about the proformance of it. I really don't feel like worrying if the bumper is going to hit the ground and all that crap.

I feel the same way. To see one custom part when the rest is all stock will look funny (IMHO).
