thinking of a vt front bumper on my gl....

Post by g.h.o.s.t »

So basically I love the early spec front end but I want it looking abit more aggressive. There's not a great deal of lips i can put on it and so was thinking of making a vt front bumper fit. Is it much of a mission? I personally would think itl look pretty good..specialy with a chargespeed lip, and as my early spec is a mish mash of si-r/late spec parts I thought why not..

What do you guys reckon? Any pics to show me?

I would keep it early spec dude. I made loads of different mis mathed front end combo's. and a Vt bumper just doesnt look right with the more square front end of non Vt as the gaps are all wrong on the top of the bumper sticks out n the middle and tight at the sides.

Also imo early spec look more aggressive and square if you got a poly lip wy not just fit that to your early spec front end ? I always thought Vt was abit too round

I also like the Shuttle front bumper, the vents being in different places makes a change to the norm.
I had three at one point, ended up chucking two of them away.
