Default gt bumper look without the $$$?

Does anyone make a rear bumper trim of somesort that can be put on the existing bumber that gives the apearance of a GT bumper? I dont feel like paying for a whole new bumper whenI go to duals and I dont really like the look of a plaincut bumper. thanks

I had a friend get a GT bumper "valance" with the dual cutouts from a Ford dealership (Planet Ford, Centerville Ohio) unpainted for $150 or so, I don't know if thats a good deal or not but it is available at the stealerships.

What color is your car, buying a GT takeoff would be pretty cheap ~250 shipped. I myself like the cut V6 bumper look.

Street Scene has the V6 rear valance. gives it a little lower of a look, but since it has the single exhaust port...you know it's a six.

Hey I respect anyones taste, but personally I think our 6's look great with our bumpers.It's a nice clean look.
If I go dual I will do a cut out I've seen it done and since the valance angles under above the muffler tip you really can't tell unless your down there.

yeah, if you can get a GT bumper, cool. IMO, thesixer looks just fine with the OEM bumper with a cut-out. not trying to look like a GT when it ain't. check my pic link.

It also comes with the left side ready to be cut in order to run duals.

As mentioned, Street Scene makes a rear fasica. I had it at one time and ended up taking it off because it wasn't quite the look I was going for. Anyway, you can buy the Street Scene rear fascia, but by the time you pay for it, have it shipped, then pay to get it painted, it will have cost you more than what you can get a GT takeoff bumper for.

The v6 bumper look pretty good with duals coming out of it.

if you get the SS rear valance it is gunna end up costing more than the GT take off. really the only cheap option is to cut your bumper
