retrousa bumpers?

any more pics of this front bumper? their site only shows DHG/Bullitt...I REALLY like the look of the front

to me the rear still looks ok, but kinda stuck on...but that front LOOKS like a real steel bumper, even if just chromed plastic.

I think Moss Mustang had a part like that, i do not know if the design has improved since then, but the first model i saw looked tacky.

Back looks ok, but the front is hideous in my opinion.

the pics on the site of the camaro/challenger I agree, same with the rear for the mustang and the side 'louver' trim...too 'bling' for me, most of the shiny bits I see on the market make me want to hurl too- but I cant help but like the look of this front bumper- it sticks out from the body enough it looks like a first/second generation mustang to me... would like to see some other colors- in the angles shown, cant tell how the 'top' edge looks (does it look like a sticker, or a bumper...)

(Former owner of a '68 checking in) I like the front, dislike the scoop inserts, and really REALLY dislike the rear.

As "retro" as our cars are, chrome trim like this just does not belong on them... just my two cents.

Maybe some don't like it because it has not appeared on cars for many years and we are not used to the look. This company has also done a great job with the chrome for the Challenger. I put the PJ Heritage trim on my Mustang and have received raves from young and older alike. I just love the look of the early Mustangs. (see my avatar) That was my first it was a hypo. I regret selling that car to this day. I have had a few in between but that was my favorite.
