White95 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Some of you know I have a GT that desperately needs TLC in the paint and appearance department. I have recently decided to stick with the GT front bumper cover (FBC) instead of swapping to a Cobra FBC. Not one to leave things untouched, I'm on the fence concerning chin spoilers or other types of front facia upgrades.I was initially going for this look:Question:What visual upgrade to my GT FBC would best compliment such an "aggressive" wing and hood?

330CubeGt Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I think a chin spoiler would look best atleast with a 281 spoiler. Hooten's car looks sick from the front with cowl, stock fbc and chin.Heads up and ass kickin! Using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White95 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I agree but I already have the s351 bumper ready to bolt on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferocious Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'd paint the hood to match, get some real hood pins, lower the front a bit, and get a racing splitter.That should pull of an 'aggressive' look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 MMM more open track cars popping up Well of course I am going to have to recommend the Tiger-Racing hood along with the Steeda race spoiler since that's what I'm getting. Stance is right but tune it for open track of course. Other spoiler suggestions would include the T1, S351 (if that's what you like), or go crazy like APR fuctional race spoiler.If you don't like the TR hood you can always go for other heat extractors. Check out this thread I started since I had the same questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White95 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Actually, already had a T1 wing:and a s-351 wing (which mysteriously disappeared)I have a new s-351 wing ready to install!I'm also set in the hood department. No need for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRoush Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Before I bought the T1 I looked at the Griggs GR40 Spoiler. Funny story, I actually almost bought it off the guy that owns this car and this is THE most aggressive looking SN95 I've seen (besides the kermit the frog green color) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Not a fan of that car. Esp if you're trying to make it an open track car. Some things might need to be "sacrificed" in order to meet goals. Regardless I agree, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White95 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Moving past JB's ride, how is a Cobra bumper more conducive to an open track car? I fully understand making concessions in certain areas for other goals. Lol, I'm not trying to build a A-Sedan or American Iron ride here. Just going to attend HPDE events once a month.

I fully understand making concessions in certain areas for other goals. Lol, I'm not trying to build a A-Sedan or American Iron ride here. Just going to attend HPDE events once a month.For one, less flat 90* surfaces = more aerodynamic. But that's not the main reason. My main reason for liking the cobra front is the same reason I love the roush front. the huge fog light holes. Turn those bad boys into brake ducts, that's what I'm going to do when my car becomes a designated track car. the mold on the bumper is perfect for it.
