i got some parts laying around that i want/thinking about installing.

first thing i'm going to put on is my xenon rear spoiler that i picked up. then some side scoops from ebay.

these are going on for sure.

something i have had for a long time now just laying around that needs a little repair is tempting me.

i have saleen front bumper in my backyard. my brother wants me to put it on (he would fix it) but i'm not too sure if it would be the right move. personally, i'm not too fond of it. it sits too high almost like the stock front bumper. my car is not lowered and with the xenon sideskirts and rear, i dont have plans to.

the saleen front would help me out for a front mount intercooler alot better then the xenon could.

heres a pic i have of a ram air hood with a saleen front.



heres a current pic



so heres the run through.

cervinis stalker ram air
xenon sides and rear
saleen front
side scoops
xenon rear spoiler
anthracit bullet wheels (deep dish soon for the rear)

do you guys think this combo will work good together?

Click to expand...

you mean the underglows? ya, i still have them. the ABS light still comes on tho. its because the wires between the tubes are too close to the brake system. apparently its a common problem. i still have to to reroute them. but i'm not in a hurry as i dont really use them often. freaks out some people when i turn them on LOL it looks like its coming from the depths of hell



i like the bullets. even more with the deep dish. if i ever change rims, it will probably be for a set of machined billets. or maybe some DUBS LOL

I would reccomend

Step 1: Remove entire xenon kit and sell to V6 owner
Step 2: Add saleen front bumper and full kit
Step 3: Lower car
Step 4: Put GT badges back on

If you don't like the height off the ground of the saleen front, maybe try the new edge style saleen front that is made for the 94-98, it sits much lower to the ground and IMO it's more aggressive looking.

I can't find a picture of it but I'm sure you know what bumper I'm talking about.

I think you should get some silver saleen 18's instead of those bullits

As an owner of a xenon kit, do not put that the saleen on. It will look very weird because as you said it doesn't sit as low as the xenon side skirts. I used to have a wings west front chin spoiler on my car with the xenon kit and it looked funny because of how low the side skirts sat. I just removed my xenon kit and I'm going in a totally new direction because I got sick and tired of how low the side skirts are in relation to the frame of the car. I'm also tired of the 4x4 look and by getting rid of the xenon kit I can lower my car and have no more interference issues than I have now.
