Another vote for the Cobra bumber. If you want a GT bumper leave the exhaust design alone, IMO. I have the Cervini's Cobra w/LX tails on my 88 GT.

The DECH that DMAN has looks nice and is kinda rare. I don't think it's available from them anymore (think they're out of business), but I heard there was a knockoff out there. Don't know about the quality though.

That DECH rear bumper is really nice, I don't like the word DECH on it though,,,I wonder if the body shop can cover that?

ABC Exclusive makes a copy of the DECH kit (and individual components, I believe), and there is no "DECH" written into it. I think it's ABC700 or something like that. Check out their site our open up any MMFF or 5.0 magazine - they advertise in all of 'em.

The new SLP catback that i have has polished stainless turndowns on it and they are visable, but not too much. I didn't think i was gonna like it, but i really do.

I would snap a picture of it but i got rearended this morning on my way to work and now the bumpers f-ed up so it doesnt look right. After i get it fixed i'll post some pics.

It not a GT and its not a corba bumper, but mine stick out.The effects package is Xenon and the bumper is not cut it is frenched, meaning the "glass" goes back into the car an a couple of inches. Borla exhaust.

I would suggest Cervinis, they seem to make descent quarter panels/bumpers/side skirts/hoods for our cars.

Looks as "good" as cutouts to me, take that however you want to

But like they said, as long as YOU like it, that's all that counts.

The Effects package was on it when I bought it in 93. Got so many compaliments on it I kept it that way. It is ok to me, I know one thing it is different, which I like. So many cars on here look alike. But to each his own, I grew up around hot-rods, shows and drag racing. So showing the pipes is kind of natural thing to me. I do like the Cobra style though.

Call slp, its not listed on their site for some reason, but they do have them. I've had mine for about a month, and i love the sound.

Maybe if the tip's were flush with the bumper, but the way you have it now =

I was going to say the same thing....I think it would look good if they were flush or stuck out about 1/4 inch....and a GT wing would look better.
