Front Bumper opinions

Ok i am in the market for a body kit and i have set my mind on either the Cervini's B9 or M1 kit, so i need to know which one looks better but we will leave that for later. Right now i want to know which bumper will look better with the kits, take a look at the choices i want





this is my car right now

After I seen a 2007 Roush this weekend, I kinda like their cover. I will keep mine for now, stock GT with CDC and custom pony with corral.

Eventhough I don't have a GT, if they made a GT foglight delete grille (and not an overlay), I would have went with the Roush front end instead of the GT500. I guess it's just something about having foglights in the lower part of the fascia that I like.

So Roush gets my vote.

Although now that the PJ kit is in production (or close to) it runs a strong second place. Just shave the headlight splitters and fab some foglights into the brake ducts holes for me.

As an entire kit I like the Roush. The Cervini's kit is great except for the snow plow front spoiler. I know it looks historically close, it just doesn't fit the car IMO.

just remember this is going to be basically the blue stang but with a different bumper, it will still have the headlight extensions so i am wonder which will be better but so far i have narrowed it down to the PJ front and the Roush front

PS: hey James, the splitters come seperate so you decide if you want them or not and i think you can use the GT500 foglights in the bumper

I believe the Roush kit comes with a wiring harness that allows you to hook up the foglights that comes with their kit so you can toggle between the upper foglights or the lower foglights.

My votes for the PJ or leaving it as is. To me the roush bumper looks awkward without the rest of the kit.

if you buy from stage 3 motorsports or from roush it comes with wiring for a second switch but either way i am going to be splicing the fogs into my factory fogs, or just add a small switch to the factory switch plate

BTW I didnt even know the PJ was out yet! Does it com with fog lights in the lower portion of the grille? What do you guys think it would look like with the CDC grille and the PJ Bumper? I might try to shoot for this combo if anyone has pics..

PJ bumper or stock. I think the Roush bumper is too busy with all those openings especially on lighter colored cars.
