Got rear ended this morning-New Bumper Help Needed


I was driving to work today on the highway and traffic slows like usual. I always leave a lot of room in front of my so I don't have to slam on my brakes and get rear ended(very ironic). Well as traffic was slowing I was rear ended by a Saturn. I didn't slam on my brakes and was in neutral costing to a stop. All of a sudden I look back and see a women reading something hit my car. She was probably a little under 10 mph when she hit me and I was doing 5 mph. If I was stopped and on the brakes, it would have meant more damage. I got out and looked at my car and the bumper is smashed up with a hole in it and my passenger side muffler is hanging inches from the ground. Not a good morning for my Mustang. I am going to be looking into putting a GT500 bumper on the car and a Roush spoiler(I will pay out of pocket for this). Hopefully there is no damage to the rear that I cannot see.

Help me pick a new bumper!

That sucks about your car. Hopefully her insurance will all work out well.
Sounds like you already have your mind make up on a bumper, I say go fo it. I'd go for the GT500 spoiler as well, although I'm not sure which one will provide more downforce

I like the Roush Spoiler. I will be working something out with my body guy, since they already are going to paint my car. Of course I will have to pay out of pocket for the Roush spoiler.
