those pics help point out the fact it looks way to wide on our cars... like hencwforward said, it needs to be flush, for it to have any chance at all.

It only looks so wide because there is no skirt kit on that car... put a skirt kit on there that widens the lower half of our cars and it would look good from the front, then it jsut needs a nice wide squared off rear bumper cover...

It is just not a piece you can throw on a stock car and expect it to look good..

That was I was trying to say earlier, what 94-302-vert said. That once someone puts one on a nicely put together car, some will have a different opinion.

I think the pic on the abc site that shows bumber from the front makes the car look like a mini van. I don't know maybe that's just me

Here:




I dont know...its like i like it...but i dont. Maybe it needs a different hood or different color. I dont know...

I think they might have dropped the ball. There WAS a lot of potential and money to be made with it...

I agree...but its harder to design the bumper in the real world on our cars to be exactly flush...the 99+ have a different fender/bumper connection so its easier to make it flush.

IMHO that bumper does not belong on our cars. I don't even like them on the 03-04 cars.

That bumper looks like ass.

How you gonna post pics with no sideskirts??!!

Yet, still looks like ass. It sticks out too much. You'd have to do a custom job, but it'll still LOOK TOO BIG.
