Official notice of bad taste

I mean, honestly:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/chrome...trim-0509.html

I thought the bumpers were bad, but THIS?!

I think whoever thought that was a good idea needs to have a few tests, to say the least.

/Seriously, that's just... awful.

I hate the chrome trim/doorhandles/etc...but gotta admit I'd really like to see that front bumper in real life...in the few pics I think its kinda cool(I know- I'm in the minority on this one). I dont like the rear bumper, but that front...imo its still way overpriced anyway.

Interesting that they chose to put it on a Bullitt.
Wasn't the "fork" only available in '66?

I think it needs a few portholes on the front fenders to complete the look.....

I DUNNO?!?!?
i kinda like it for the BULLITT, kinda goes w/ the COLOR...
plus that car (bullitt) is extremely BARE, something like this makes it Very unique looking.
gotta tell ya! if i owned the BULLITT, i'd consider it. BUT i dont own such a car. SO!
IM GOOD!

Nasty... and it is not even shaped correctly... The front and rear bumpers are also thumbs down. Sometimes there are things that should not be done as retro.

i do like the front bumper .the rear just doesn't look right.if the stock bumper covers were changed to more like the retro style it would look better but in either case WAY to much money.

Wow... and it is $180 for a piece of plastic. Well, I guess they are for the pair, so $90 for each side.
