what's everyone's opinions on having the GT-4 Hood without the bumper, Not seen it in the flesh, to me it looks pretty cool, like the gap is meant to be there?!

My bro has those panels, his car is a '94 GT...I'm wondering if maybe the previous owner did the "bumper facelift" because 94's and 95's are supposed to have those smiley bumpers...? Love the GT-4 hood, I personally don't really like the gap, I'd say keep an eye out for a bumper... --------------------  "I bet you drive a standard." "You could make some money off that bet." :D |

i'd buy the bumper cover, it's only about $280 + shipping and that way you can paint the hood and bumper at the same time.. then just save up for the front grills and whatnot afterwards...
oh btw, i'm also using my stock hood latch too. i no longer have that safety latch anymore. when i pop the latch, i can lift the hood straight up without having to lift another lever. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
