decisions on rear bumper

[bigjohnson4.6gt]

Cant decide on what I want. Was browsing craigslist and found a deal on a shaved rear bumper with no mustang lettering on it, and another with a normal one. Now I am going to sand and repaint both. Both have no cracks and are in good condition. The positive with the shaved bumper is that it also comes with a front bumper for free. I think the shaved would be different and look pretty good, but I cant decide. If I go with the regular rear bumper then I will put the SS inserts back in it.

any pics of the shaved bumper?

I dont think ive ever seen one.

what car is it for?

 

[Scarface]

I say do either, which ever is cheaper. Im guessing the bumper wouldnt buff out?

 

[eliyarbrough]

I need to see pics because I have no idea what 'shaved' means.

 

[duh09]

Shaved means all the lettering and stuff is filled in so its smooth, instead of having the indented letters.

I say go for shaved. You're talking about the Mach right? I tihnk it'll look sick on the Mach.

 

[eliyarbrough]

For that, I'd then go for normal. Can't beat the stock look, I think.

I've seen some pictures somewhere of the 03 cobra bumper filled in and it does look really good.. i'll have to dig it up

also i'm pretty sure latemodelresto sells the rear bumpers already filled

Noway... I say keep the letters thats part of the mustang look..

 

[MustangChris]

I thought you were selling it. Either way, I like it shaved on the Mach's, but not the cobra bumpers.

 

[OnyxCobra]

Why do you need a new rear bumper? and i thought you were selling the car or did i confuse you with someone else?

 

[bigjohnson4.6gt]

well i was selling it but i hydroplaned and ended up in a ditch and scratched and bent the rear bumper to where it would be better getting a new one

 

[Rice_slayer]

I like the shaved on the Mach bumper, cobra one looks really wrong for some reason.

 

[OnyxCobra]

Hmm they both look good but I'd be tempted to keep the stock look, especially if you're selling it.

 

[Hoseitdown]

shaved.


if it was a cobra, then i would say differeent.

ppl can look at it, and see its a MUSTANG lol

I would say keep it stock. To each his own though.

 

[blown98gt]

Latemodelrestorations.com has the oem bump without letters for a really decent price so to each his own but if you are going to do it i'd say go with them or... just get the filler and do it yourself, sand, sand, sand and then paint lol

Sinvce you are going to sell it, I say keep it normal.
