Kind of looks like the old I-roc bumper.

Personally....

Stock > 95% of all aftermarket body panels.


Too many nice clean foxes get ruined in my opinion by slapping on aftermarket panels and hoods with 4 scoops. With the age these cars are getting up to, clean stock cars turn heads more in my opinion.

Of course, your car, your decisions, your money.

If that's a fiberglass bumper however, inwouldnt run it just simply due to material. Any sort of "love tap" on the bumper and you'll need a repaint. Stick with urethane.

Could be worse, I guess. I wouldn't ridicule you for running it.

Agreed. It seems like the simple essence of a modified foxbody with a stock looking exterior is hard to find these days. I have the same simplistic views about aftermarket wheels. I gag myself daily seeing all the terrible wheel choices the locals have made with their Mustangs.
