Default Bumper Opinion?
Filled GT bumper or stock GT bumper? Thought the filled may flow nice with the filled trunk lid.

I just bought a house so I am not looking to spend money I don't have to. I found a filled GT bumper so that is why I am asking

Cobra is out of the question. I don't want to spend $400 on a bumper, pay to have it filled, then another $200 or so for paint. I don't want to drop $800 or so into a bumper that will most likely be smacked again

Top pic filled looks great.

Bottom pic is a toss up...the lettering flows well.

I'd say go for the filled.

well since the cobra bumper is out of the question.. I don't really know. I think your car could pull off that look. It will look smooth but you have the whole silver/black combination going. Its a toss up haha I say go for it and if someone rear ends you the first day you put it on then thats a sign to go back to the old style

I think that you could pull off the shaved look, but I think you need to put some kind of ID mark on the back of the car.. Maybe like your side badges are, but integrate it to the back of the car..

Shitty chop, but you get the idea..

Kinda like when people put Mustang across their windshield. The badge on the back does look nice but I think I would leave it all smooth and clean back there.

For the simple fact that it is almost TOO plain/ smooth.. Needs something to break it up a bit. Just a suggestion.. Personally, if you don't plan on adding anything to break up the smoothness then I wouldn't shave it..

JM2C though.

Filled! Dang that looks great filled! It totally sets your car apart from the others, makes your painted blackout panel more prominent too.
