all right everyone i need some help. i want to put a new bumper on my 88 gt (because of damage to mine) but i do not know what one to put on it. in fact i do not know of many bumpers for this year or what they look like. i have seen a few aftermarkets that look really good. i would like one that stands out and comes forward like a steeda splitter. so i would like some opinions on what one u think i should use. pictures and websites of the bumpers would be preferred if u know where to find them. thanks for your help.

me personally, i would just put a new replacement oem bumper / air dam back on it. IMO an original gt front end and functional fog lights are most awesome

As Keving stated it's your car/money, but a nice 4-eyed front clip would be a nice alternative!

why not go for a sleeper look now and grab an LX bumper and remove the GT kit if you have one on your car? or if you want a kit i'd go back to a GT front bumper like you had.
People will mistake a bumper like those for a ricer bumper...just my opinion...
although if you went aftermarket the Xenon doesn't look too extreme from the photo i see

All of those look kinda ricey to me. That one on the Green 87-93 Fox doesnt look too bad. Look at Cervini's and see what they have. Ive seen some nice kits for 87-93s from them.

If it was mine id say go back to astock gt (or cobra) because besides looking like an... import, those big body kits are a real pain in the **** when you have to go over speed bumps or into driveways. But hey, your call.

Those spider things are the most hideous, crappy looking things I think I have ever seen. I wouldnt dare put one of those on a fox body. Do what you want, but dont feel bad when people laugh at your car because it has been tunred into a monstrosity.
