Well it is apparent from the side bc you have the GT rockers. IMO your car would look even better if you put the v6 rockers back on Panter72. But I do think you car looks very nice, really like the looks of you ducktail
The black rockers take away from that low mean stance. That is why I am hesitant on the GT500 bumper. If they made the V6 bumper go down just a little more, I would stick with it.
Iwould agree that the GT looks a little meaner since it is lower, I think the V6 or GT500 looks more retro since the car does not appear as fat/tall. It is a personal preference, but I perfer the black rocker look.

the GT rockers are great, but it doesn't look right without the GT/ or other aftermarket bumper.

I don't like the 500 valance.

Too, I don't know, ick.

Don't remember what the 3D looked like.

I went with the GT bumper (go on the GT forums and ask around, maybe someone is switching to the 500 or something else and you can get theirs already painted!

go to v6mustangstuff.com a GT takeoff is only $170, then $80 for the rockers, and get a chin spoiler. then you dont have to worry about the lines.

That was my original plan, however after calling 3 companies, it seems my chances of getting a painted rear bumper are next to none. I figured if I had to pay to get it painted, maybe there was a better rear bumper to get instead. However, after going to the ford dealership today I looked at alot of 08 SVT's, Shelby's, Venom's, etc. I think I will just get the painted GT rear. It has the look I want the most.
