    if you do put it on dont throw the saleen decals on it, I personally am a big fan of the roush stage three front end, but thats just my opinion

    see i like them both, but either way i still have a GT, so is it a big deal that it says Saleen across that back really big? or do i make it look like a Saleen with the badges and all just for appearance sake?

    I dont know how the saleen owners of the world feel, but it bugs me when people put cobra emblems on a GT or even worse a v6

    see i agree with that as well, its just awkward to put saleen on the back and have gt everywhere else, but its a good bit of extra money to get the kit else where without it saying saleen.

    heres the biggest thing, its your car you should do with it what you like, make it your own, alot of people tell me my cowl hood is too big, but I love it, so if you want to paint saleen down the side in big bold letters go for it, im personally just not a fan of clones n such

    true, if the guy woulda just sold me a saleen it would have all been easier hahaha. im thinking i can let it say saleen on the back and maybe put 4.6 badges on it or keep GT there too, idk.

    the bumper isnt as big of a deal as throwing the emblems on, I just hate when people put cobra emblems on a car the obviously isnt, or you have saleen emblems all over it, then people pop the hood n its a big disapointment, throwin a body kit on it is one thing but Id leave the GT emblems or put 4.6 emblems on there

    new update/question. i called mrbodykit and they said that the kit from saleen isnt as good of quality as theirs, theirs is cheaper and doen't say saleen on it. Thoughts? i just want to know if its actually good to get theirs or not quality wise, i dont want the saleen hood or wing so it seems like a good idea

    ya agreed here as well, i decided to go with the Mr. Body Kit one, but i need to know if anyone knows their quality. They claim that their kit is better than Saleen's.....

    Got my headlights there too. Make sure u silicone the seams. They neglected to tell me about that and moisture got in'em. I had to dry them out and sill them. I alwayz really liked the Saleens alot. Wouldn't mind haven't the side exit exhaust, or the spoiler off the trunk either. But I wanted my Stang to be MY stang. Its a personal preference kinda deal.
