I currently have a kaenan heat extractor hood and since my front bumper is pretty much shot(someone hit it and paint is coming off everywhere), i'm looking to get a new bumper. I dont know if i should get another stocker or get a cobra/aftermarket bumper. Price is an issue so cervini's is pretty much out of the question even though i love their stalker front....$479 Oh and the aftermarket has to look good with the stock side skirts/rear bumper because I won't be changing any of that.

man this is gonna be a hard decision ....i've narrowed it down to the saleen front bumper or the cobra with front lip. Both are from ABC exclusive and are the same price. I think the cobra with front lip is more sleek(factory looking) and then the saleen is more flashy but not overdone. arghh i hate these kind of decisions!

here are pics of the cobra with front lip from Punisher302's car:

I guess it comes down to:
Do you want fog lights or not?

I like the Saleen bumper better, I wish I had some pics of my car because I have the hood you are looking for but with the stock bumper. You can have fog lights with the Saleen bumper but then it doesnt look as cool.

Personally, I like Punnishers look. It looks hard core but just like you I would need to see the Saleen hood with the Cobra bumper/splitter.

Maybe someone can photoshop something up for us?

Punisher's is real nice. Seen it in person. But again, SLN vs. Cobra w/lip is a tough decision...

You can still have them on there, but it would look stupid, they wont line up with anything. Saleens never came with fogs from the factory...

I really like the Cobra w/ the lip, I wish mine had the lip on it I had a Stalker bumper from Cervin's before they upped the prices on them, thats one of my top 3 favorite front bumpers.

thanks for the kind words, gentlemen. unfortunately, though, my bumper (as do the rear and side skirts) desperately need a repainting! planning to do that w/in the next couple of weeks.

anyhow, the cobra bumper + lip lines up really well w/ the stock side skirts--a prime example is Matt's car.

lol @ Jinx. correction: i can't drive *after a few drinks*. rather, i can't see raised medians in a city i'm not familiar with after a few drinks.

Kevin: aside from my incident w/ the raised median (which cracked the front & rear bumpers, and driver side skirt), i have a crapload of rock chips and what not, plus my genius of a painter didn't use flex agent in these parts.
