Sort of reminds me of the R model for some reason. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/33.gif[/img] (just a little)

Your comment gave me an idea. I wish someone would make an aftermarket GT-350R front fascia.

Can you add a cervini's bumper w/o the big fogs in the lower grill?

Here you go. Not the best photoshop but I think you get the idea. Lower grille is a pain.

I added it to the 1st post too for comparison.

I like the Halibrand look too but don't like the hood, which is required as well (you can't use the factory hood with Halibrand's fascia). http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?s=...ndpost&p=630167


But if you could do it, it would look something like this.

Jan,

That's really sharp looking. Where did you get the grille? Did it come black or did you have to have that done yourself?

Look forward to seeing the final product. I think you will be very happy with that Steeda fascia.

AF- actually got it from bash performance. They do not have it listed but I saw it on their homepage on a black Roush so I called them up and they said no problem just have to get one painted-All said and done took about 2 weeks but I really like it. Now only if Steeda would get there act together and release the bumper already-They actually outsource them to 3DCarbon and are now blaming them for the delay but o well.

Do you know if you can get the Steeda fascia without the front splitter? I know you can get the Roush without it.

Found this picture at Brad's http://www.magiccitymustangs.com/pictures/bigshow7

Looks like a Street Scene front but with fogs. I went to their webpage and didn't find any mention of fogs available so it might be something the owner did.

Anybody have anymore info about whether you can get this fascia with fogs?

afblue,

can you photoshop grey stripes on my car (and just a little wider than the blue ones) and maybe just two shades darker than my silver?

Not sure what 2 shades darker works out to, but here are 3 different shades of grey.

Opps, I forgot you wanted it wider

Justin, out of curiousity what is the width of the opening on the lower part of the Roush front fascia (from inside front pillar to inside front pillar)?

Trying to determine the ideal stripe width to fill the opening.

Just a guess here, but it's 21" between the fogs... fogs are 5" wide (?)... the inside pillars look to almost line up with the center of the fogs, so I'd say, the opening is 25" wide. (maybe 26" if the fogs are 6")
With that wide of an opening I'd go with a 2" gap btween the stripes and make the stripes 11.5" (25" opening) or 12" (26" opening).

Hmm. I find 10.5" with 1.5" gap to look ideal to me on a stock S-197.

The wider stripes are not as appealing to me because of how they look on the rear. I don't think I would want to go wider than 10.5 and 2". That would give 23" total or 1-1.5 inch gap between the pillar and the outer edge of the stripe.

AFBLUE, you are the man! I am leaning towards the bottom left or top left!

I will measure the opening in a bit, because I will be outside detailing the wife's expedition!!!

Dang. I 'm good. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

I agree, 10.5" w/ a 1.5" gap looks best. IF I ever get stripes that what I'm going with. Even when I have the Roush front end.
