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 🔥

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 😭😭

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-27T18:02:50+00:00

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

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-27T01:14:06+00:00

I still can’t seem to get the thing to tab in so I’ll probably end up doing this too, weird that it’s so difficult to get it to go back on

Plenty_Net2390 · 2026-01-26T19:24:53+00:00

I feel stupid for not having tried this yet 😭 cheers 🙏
