Check out this GT? Is this fake or real? have any of you heard of any one doing this, puting a '99 and new rear bumper on a '98 and older GT. Are there a lot of modifications that need to be done to get it to fit?

seeings how the same shell exists underneath, i bet no extra mods are necessary. but if you look really closely at the pic toward the bottom of the right taillight there is a slight bumper cover overlap. That's what i'd expect.

I believe a few minor adjustments is needed, but that bumper just throws off the lines off the car. It just doesn't look right

That's the same thing I noticed. It doesn't look right to me either but is kinda tight.

Damn hater!!! It looks kool as hell. There just mad because that saleen kit looks so kool on the 99 + stang and now we can do it too. HEHE As for the lining, that isn't a big deal a good body shop can fix it easy by shaving it. I personally like it because when you look at it its like WHOA.

Damnnnn checked it out again, now i want to do that. Only thing I don't like about Saleen look alike is the wheels. I like a deep dish look honestly, just imagine if it had some 18x11 Torque Thrust II in chrome.

that car is HOT! Mrbodykit.com sells them. Not sure who else. You can get it from mrbodykit for less that 700 bucks right now for xmas. I can allmost promise thats going to take some adjusting though. It looks awesome though when done. I'm a fan.

sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead, but i gotta question for ya monstamack. is the rear bumper you're going to put on genuine Saleen or not? also, if it's not genuine Saleen, is it made of fiberglass or urethane? i like the look, but if i could only get it in fiberglass, then i think i'll pass. thanks bud.

That stang looks pretty impressive from the rear and ok from the side. I agree that the front didn't fare quite as well. But I'm surprised no one called BS on "Makes 332rwhp without nos." Is this possible with 'just' a $ean Hyland port job, cam$ and a Bullitt intakeit-in-the-shorts??

agreed, they squared out the body on 99+, more right angles, doesnt look right on a 94-98 body that doesnt have the same lines and is rounded
