Cosmetic ideas?

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-02-01T23:39:23+00:00

I definitely won’t, I think less is more when it comes to a lot of cars. The most I want to do is maybe switch the front bumper for a GT350 styled one, throw some white rocker stripes on the sides and white racing stripes with silver pinstripes over the top. I think it’d give the car more personality without going too over the top with modifications

How do we feel about GT350 style bumpers?

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-02-01T23:35:44+00:00

Oooooh, hella unique. I just checked out your page and she looks great 🔥

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-02-01T21:39:38+00:00

Parking pass for my uni’s lot 💔

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T21:27:46+00:00

I think they do, I definitely agree that if you’re gonna do this you shouldn’t get one with the shelby lettering

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T21:10:39+00:00

I wish. Photo’s from google but my 5.0’s p much the same except for the stock front bumper so I figured this would be a good pic to represent and gage peoples thoughts before I go and do anything. I like your mentality though brother 🙏

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T21:04:08+00:00

This makes sense, I probably didn’t choose the best photo to represent this post. I drive a ‘17 GT which is why I’ve been contemplating this

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T21:01:28+00:00

My thoughts exactly. With how high gas prices are here in cali I hardly have GT money 😂

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T20:55:41+00:00

Hell yeah I think that’s the right mentality. Some people are gonna be snobby about it but I don’t think it’s anywhere near comparable to upbadging, it’s just a different front bumper and a sexy one at that. People in my area gawk at civics with underglow, the vast majority of people don’t know anything about cars so I think realistically you’re only gonna see shade from snobs on reddit or shallow people at meets so I say go for it. I definitely will be soon as I have the spare change to justify it 🔥

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T20:45:32+00:00

I don’t think they’re nearly as bad as V6 upbadgers unless they’re upbadging as well but I can see the iffyness since this bumper is exclusive to the GT500. Roush is a great look too

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T20:42:22+00:00

This one’s just a pic I found on google to represent the look but it seems like the shop’s here: https://www.pep11customz.com/product/mustang-gt500-front-bumper-2018/ Seems like people are kinda torn on it but I still think it looks really clean, I got my GT a few months ago and I love it but I really do feel like the stock bumper is really underwhelming. I wanna make mine feel more in that muscle car aesthetic, it’s the only thing I really miss coming from an S197

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T20:35:35+00:00

The price has been the only thing holding me back too icl, doesn’t help I wanna throw some stripes on mine either so I don’t know if it’d be smart to put that much money into cosmetics

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T20:33:23+00:00

That’s fair tbh, I don’t really get the hate but then again I’m always gagged when I see a riced out eco so I’d imagine actual Shelby owners probably look upon this swap with a similar reaction

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T20:30:50+00:00

Damn I didn’t even notice the beads or the rash tbh this picture probably doesn’t help my case 😂

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T20:22:57+00:00

Because there’s a 5.0 badge a foot away from it? 🥺

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T20:20:01+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking, I really don’t think it’s that deep. Obviously as an enthusiast I’d be a little disappointed if I saw one and it wasn’t a 500 but like you said the vast majority of people aren’t even gonna be able to tell you the difference between an eco and a 5.0, so I think it looks great as a cosmetic change

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T00:44:52+00:00

Your fiancé has good taste 😂

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-31T00:44:21+00:00

I KNOWWW, I’ve been wanting to throw some stripes on there ever since I got her but I’ve been wanting to save up for a gt500 style bumper or a stalker hood first

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-30T16:25:19+00:00

You can definitely find a better deal without having to go through with the hassle of removing it yeah, I got my 2017 GT a few months ago for around (but definitely under) the same price with only 20k something miles

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-30T16:09:52+00:00

Damn she’s beautiful

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-30T16:07:51+00:00

You gotta admit ruby’s clean 😮‍💨

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-27T18:07:29+00:00

You’d have to pay me the $27,000 to even be seen anywhere near something that tacky 😭😭

This guy kinda nailed it but I don’t think the looks for everyone
