Default Smoothed out GT Bumper (A few new pics)

Not sure if any of you guys have ever seen a smoothed GT bumper so I thought I would share. Slapped the new butt on the car today. Thought it went well with the filled 3rd brake light and key hole. I will do my famous parking garage shots later. Didn't have time today. Thanks to Kevin I need to find a new spot HA!

lookin good donnie... and for the love of FSM!!.... you need wider front tires man. the sidewall is not supposed to bend in like that.

if I had "real" xtra money, Id shave the bumper and key hole on mine.

hey what happens if your remote fails? how to ya pop your trunk?

Yeah I HATE those front tires but I kind of got screwed on them so I have just been waiting till its time for new ones. SOON!

If I need to get in there I guess I would have to crawl through the back seat lol.

yeah, I wonder if there is a emergency release in there you could use. I've never checked to see if I had one.

what does it cost to shave and paint a trunklid and a bumper?

If i was going to shave a bumper it would be a 03-04 Cobra bumper.

But it looks good nonetheless. Wider tires up front IMO.

Looks good donnie, I didn't notice that you had painted the bezel for the grille delete, nice touch.


As far as spots go, I was thinking of going to the beach during sunset and getting some, next time I get visual mods. lol

We need to do a little photoshoot once my car's got a bit more done.

I thought the same thing when I first saw it, then remembered that all roush's have that. It is part of the bumper and is painted as such. Should be interesting to see if anyone has had it painted black for contrast before...

That's part of the bumper? Weird ,I wonder why they didn't just make it level with the surface of the bumper then, instead of having it raised up

they figure nobody in their right mind is gonna screw up a new mustang by smoothing out the back...the s197 needs that back keyhole...its an important part of the retro appeal
