Need help with decisions. 2012 GT facelift.

[2Kblacksleeper]

On 2-15 I was involved in a accident. A guy turned left in front of me and I hit him doing 40mph.

He was sighted, i had the right of way.

So now i have the choice of putting a regular gt front end back on with a cowl hood from ho fibertrends. Or doing a gt500 front end and hood.

Which way would you lean? I like the idea of both.

Help a brother out.

[smytty]

What about the CS stuff. Makes the front look pretty mean, plus a better spoiler...

[sean]

gt500 it up. I know some people dont like clones but I never cared either.

[Stangman]

The roush bumper looks good on these.

[firestang70]

I put a Roush front end on mine and was pleased. I say gt 500 between the two options.

[WCKDGT]

i vote GT500. thats what i wanna do with mine

[plated]

i love the gt500 but it's expensive like $3,500 for just the parts,i'd rock the roush and cowl hood,or check out cervinis or other reputable companys for other styles

[redfirepearlgt]

Do the GT500 and go x-nay the stripes. Will look nice. Have Chris work some magic on it as well if he's available.

[Stangman]

I'm with Chris.... Roush and a cowl. I think Dale is the only other person I've seen with a roush bumper.

[SN95N/A]

Id say check out some pics of cars with both see which one u like more.

[sean]

LS1 swap?????

[2Kblacksleeper]

Damn it Sean, I would settle for the new Ford Racing High PO Coyote motor.

Well Plated you will be doing the work there at Goulds. I was looking at Trousley ford where I can order the parts at 10% over cost. So it brings the price down pretty far and close to what the insurance is thinking for stock replacement.

My insurance est is saying that a stock hood is $1142 So with being able to get a HO fiber Trends hood for 600 with shipping. I figured that extra money could be used to eat up the cost of the gt500 conversion. The stock Gt500 hood is where I am using the most money. It is 975ish.

Let me see if I can load the insurance est.

[2Kblacksleeper]

If I do go 500 there will be no stripes. I like my car stripe less.

Sucks about the wreck John. :mad: I vote GT500.

[2Kblacksleeper]

Thanks Greg. How's the car coming?

[04 Venom]

I'm with Chris.... Roush and a cowl. I think Dale is the only other person I've seen with a roush bumper.

Agree. No clone zone.

[Kwik92GT]

Thanks Greg. How's the car coming?

S-L-O-W :lol:

[2Kblacksleeper]

Well damn, you know i do take donations of bad ass hatches in the building process.... Lol

[beefcake]

the gt500 front ends do look pretty good

[2Kblacksleeper]

I really like the front ends of the gt500. I would do away with the cobra badge. I've never been a poser.

To me they just look killer.
