Default Which Bumper Inserts should i get?

i dont know which bumper inserts i should get for my 1999 V6 Mustang. my stang is silver, not the dark silver, but a lighter silver, like this mustang. http://www.lisashea.com/hobbies/auto/01stang.jpg

so what bumper inserts will look good. i dont think the stailnless steel ones will because my car is silver. so i was leaning twords these ones. http://www.mustangtuning.com/mublrebuinle.html

what do you think?

I think those are perfect...I have a mineral grey 02 GT so i went with the Stainless steel inserts...they are pretty easy to install but after a little while the adhesive stuff got a little dried out and i had to dab a bit of superglue behinde the insert but it looks perfect...anyway the Black will look awesome on your stang

Those are pretty damn cool. I have just the plain black insert on my silver stang and I think it looks good, but I'm thinking about getting the black reflective also. If you get them post a picture so we can see what it looks like on your stang.

Get the Black ones, I had mine on for about 6 years just took them off recently since they were cracking. Seeing how much I paid and how long they lasted it was a good buy.

Or you could get the SS inserts, looks pretty tight on a silver.

Did you prep the area with wax remover or alcohol.

lol, yeah 2 months is alittle extreme, my brothers were on his for roughly a year, then one of his friends smacked into his car whilst he was parked... so the kid paid for a new bumper, paint (paint matched flawlessly) AND new bumper inserts lol. I have had my bumper inserts on for nearly a year now, and they arent extremely good quality (ebay, only because they are the only place ive found with a 'brushed aluminum' vinyl pattern), but we prepped well, and i am goign to remove them in favor off SS ones... Think it would look hawt on the dark greenish blue... :happy9:

id say get the stainless steel bumper inserts for pretty much any mustang as long as its not silver and yours is, the black will contrast great :blob3:

Actual Stainless Steel Ones or the "Stainless Steel" ones.

If anything I can send out new adhesive strips or something.
