So I've had a painted, Cervinis cobra grill for about 10 years now. Sitting on the shelf. I haven't installed it due to lack of desire of cutting up a nice, Ford, vin-matched bumper.

Obviously, I love the look, but can't make up my mind. Leave the bumper original, or just do it?

I wouldn't, but that's just because I don't care for it.

Yeah. Coworkers did that. I'm getting married tomorrow so they have been ragging on me. One of them made that add.

Car is NOT for sale.

How did you see it?

If your car is a lx, leave it. The only things a lx needs to look good are shiny tail pipes and a pretty girl in the drivers seat.


If it's a gt, do it unless it's a clean original car.

Spare bumper idea if you want to put it on there. No need to hack up original stuff. Congrats on the wedding tomorrow.

+1 on installing it, I think it would be a nice subtle touch to your car, your car has so many nice touches that look factory

I would leave it alone because I personally wouldn't care for it.
