R needs a hood and wing to offset it.
Chins are over done.

99/01 or 03/04 Cobra front would look good.
Saleen or Roush front end would look good.

I'd do wheels first, though.

+1 to matt. If your bumper isnt terrible, i would focus on wheels first. But if you are dead set on getting a new front, then yes the cobra r front needs either the y2k hood or the rr hood to set it off. if you get a chin, dont paint it. they look way better flat black imo. the cobra fronts look really good but are fairly expensive if youre on a lower budget. the saleen is a great front too....but make sure you get the right one. the look-a-likes have a crappy fit.

I dont think it's possible to get a saleen front to fit good. I have heard even from saleen the fitment sucks.

PLEASE don't get a cobra r front.

Well if you are on a budget you can just get your stock bumper repainted. Maco has a $99 deal for all front and rear bumpers. I know Marco isnt the best but think of it this way, it will look better, and you dont have to buy a new hood, new bumper, or side skirts.

++1 to the wheels. It would look way "off" to see a cobra, or roush bumper with the stock Sixer wheels. Invest in some wheels and Go from there. You could not be happier with a new set of wheels and tires on your car!

Great investment.
