Question Cutting the GT/CS front bumper....

While doing my Bullitt rendering I started to wonder if you can cut and modify the gt/cs front bumper to accept fog lights like the GT500. Does anyone know if this can be done so it doesn't crack under stress?

I put the Bullitt concept back to black to show what it would look like for my car.

You don't need to. http://www.shelbyautos.com/ShowDetail.asp?id=44


Just get this kit and you have the shelby lower fogs.

Photoshop I did of a GT/CS with them.

I don't think that's the look he's going for.

You could cut into the bumper, and it'd be fine. However, it would not look right. It would not have a recess, and almost all fog lights are in a recess, nor a way to mount them properly. But for photoshop, sure, why not Looks good so far

I think that the fogs should be under the headlights like in the first pic

Ok, well someone make it then. I'd love to see the factory GT front fascia with fogs in the same place (see photoshop below).

Personally, I don't like the red photoshop. the black photoshop looks nice at that angle, and I kind of like the one with the white photoshop (the one with Shelbyauto's fogs). Maybe if the red car had the GT/CS bumper, it would look better (b/c it would look like the first post)

Well I did this to the white GT/CS and then it screamed "Roush" at me. I guess this is why I've always like the Roush front-end. Too bad the roush frontend is over $800. I may go the with th GT/CS front and the Shelby kit. Thanks!

No way. That looks way better than the Roush. I loved the sn95 (99-04)roush kit, but the S197 Roush kit looks terrible IMHO. It completely ruins the lines and theme of the S197.
