I just got and installed a cs/cj front bumper on the car and I love it. But now I don't know what to do about the stripes. I kinda like the solid white with the stripes starting at the hood. I also like the stripes on the bumper, but I ALSO like the idea of maybe no stripes. I would like to get a cowl hood and maybe have the rest of the stripes painted over with the new hood..... What do you guys and gals think. Here are some pics:

Truthfully, I think it looked best with the first bumper, but with the cs bumper I would go with the photoshopped pics

I like the new bumper a lot better. The old one looks like there is/was a hump on the passenger side of the intercooler?

i liked the first bumper much better, but the photoshopped looked the best of the new bumper. keep the stripes... i like that you look different then almost every mustang on the road.

+1 on keeping the stripes. But why the change of the front bumper? I think the first one look better and by the look of it the first one would have a better air flow to the intercooler.

It had been on and off so many times it was getting floppy and it sits WAY TOO LOW It wasn't practical to drive anymore and I always had to remove the chin spoiler to get it on and off the trailor. I have always loved the cs/cj look.

I can understand that I deal with the same thing with the cervinis kit. I'm on my third bumper right now and that one need to be replaced but I have no ideal what to change it out to that will look as good. Only one I can think of is the Blow By Racing front end but then less intercooler surface area. But back on track keep the strips.

I like the new bumper Nick.

If it were me, I would put stripes on it, or remove them all together.
