GT350R coupe question

Should I use a bumper with the shelby front valance or go without it? I think it looks pretty cool without the bumper

Don't you need the bumper for it to street legal? You said you wanted it to be a daily driver. Correct me if I'm wrong, it may depend on the state.

Maybe you can shorten the bumper so it hugs the body like some of the racing versions did? I always thought that looked pretty cool.

And paint it body color too. It will look like it isn't even there.

You could chrome them still if you wanted but i personally like color matching, just gives a clean smooth look in my eyes. but i believe i have landed on a midnight plum for color so it will be darker. anyhow just a thought if you wanted to be different and if your up for some metal fab
