Front bumper

I currently have a roush front bumper but have been thinking about changing it up a bit. What is out there that looks good and where can I get it for a decent price??

There are a lot of choices in front facias out there. I would use google, and just see what fits your taste. Prices and quality are going to be dependent on who makes the product but if something sounds too good to be true it probably is. Fitment is everything in my opinion cuz once you start using zip ties etc to hold the thing on its all down hill from there. Lol

Yea mine needs a repaint at this point and needs to have all paint and primer removed. I figured I would cut my loses and start over. Should I stay away from the Urethane stuff or is it alright?

The Shelby GT/CS bumper is another good choice that is reasonably priced and being OEM, is great quality.

Personally I would stay away from fiberglass unless it has been proven to be a good fitment from other people on the boards ect. I have seen some really bad stuff made of fiberglass but maybe they were just from crappy companies.

What looks good is a matter of personal taste so Google may be your best friend here. I personally like the CDC aggressive chin on the stock bumper



or the Street Scene Gen 2



But I don't know if that's what you'll like.

Blue one? You mean the Tungsten Grey GT with the stripes?

This may help too. I can't say whether they're reputable or not but they do have a good selection:

Thanks for the link Cavero! I'll take more like that. Whats up with the urethane stuff? Stock bumpers are plastic correct? Are the urethane bumpers just as easy to paint and handle?

Stock bumpers are urethane. They're pointing out that its normal bumper material (flexible) and not fiberglass (which is brittle)
