I have the opportunity to get a Stalker front bumper for relatively cheap. But I dont know tho. Its real aggressive and I've always liked it but I also love the Cobra grille insert. Its alot more tame and clean. I'm kinda torn between the two right now. Let me know what you guys think!!!

I also never wanted to shell out the 500 bucks for one. But I could possibly get one for 150 thats used and had a crack that has been fixed. I'm waiting for pictures to see what the damage is.

IMO cobra insert.

I used to loveeee the stalker bumber back in the day. As the years went on I grew less and less fond of it.

Neither. Leave your car 100% LX. A t-top LX c'mon man that is rarer than rare and will draw ridiculous crowds wherever you go!

Wait, a Stalker on an LX? That would be interesting.

IMO I like the Cobra grille the best. I used to think the Stalker was totally awesome, but now not so much. It doesn't really flow with the lines of the Fox.

But hell, its your car, do whatever you think looks best for you, don't do it for someone else.

I do too!

But i find that for the most part my preferences have changed. I still like the stalker front bumper, but prefer the cobra insert now a days

Buy the stalker, sell it on ebay, use the profit to buy the Cobra.

Yea, so i think I'm going to buy it. As with most of you guys, I use to LOVE the stalker but now I kinda like the cleanliness of the Cobra grille insert. I may finish the body work on it, put my cobra bumper on my car, then swap out with the stalker and see which one I like the best. If I don't like the stalker I know I can sell it at e-town in april for a decent amount of money. oh, and as stated before, my car is originally a 4 cyl LX ttop car but I will be using GT side skirts for now, cobra rear bumper, saleen wing (unless I can find a cobra for cheap) and a Cobra R hood.

Thanks for the input guys!!!

Sounds like a good idea...

But I'm curious what a Stalker bumper would look like on an LX, probably horrible, but you never know until you see it.
