Just joined and thought I would share my new bumper. I like it because it looks mean/sinister compared to all the other bumpers and the side LED lights are really cool looking. I was going to purchase the whole Saleen kit, but decided against it, after the comments ive received at local shows and events.

Should I keep the Saleen badge on the grill or take it off? This one is just subtle. I cant make up my mind but generally hate any extra bagging/stickers.

Thanks for the info Stinger. I know you have the Roush on yours. I'm looking to only do the bumper cover now on mine. Do you think I need to do any other body kit work to make it look good? I think your's just has the bumper cover if I'm right.

the Roush is one of the fewer fascia's IMO that I feel you can put on with NOTHING else

Cool. Thanks. I'm getting excited in the opportunity.

Do you know if the factory paint on the Roush fascia matches the stock body pretty well?

Not sure if you saw this in another thread, but here's a PS of a Saleen fascia on a stock hood/side skirt combo:

That looks cool too. I wasn't sure how it would look like with the location of the HIDs compared to the lights in the fascia. Where can I buy that if I go with it? So far I just see the entire kit with grilles included. I'd only like the bumper.

I was toying with the idea of doing the bumper without the grille. I e-mailed Saleen yesterday and found out you can't get them separate.

Shaun, I totally scrolled over that post initially. Looks good, just not a fan of the blank grille up front. It really needs the fogs on it.

Oh ok. Well looks like I'm still leaning towards Roush!

Thanks for the pic, yours is the first I've seen of the Saleen bumper with HIDs. It looks good! I think I'm in the same boat as Overboost in that I prefer to keep the stock grille with the fog lights in. Not knocking the Saleen grille at all, though, because if I am going to swap it's going to be that one.

I think the front grill has too much of a 4x4 look to it. If you order a saleen bumper the gill comes with it, thats why there arent too many stock grill/saleen bumper combos out there.

I may still end up with the CS lower and Boss 302 splitter. Haven't really decided yet.

It attaches below the CS lower fascia and adds downforce. Not quite as crazy as the Laguna Seca splitter, but it adds a little more to the front end.
