mustang front bumper

silverknight · 01-18-2005, 09:15 PM

so yeah.. ur wondering why the taurus driver puts up a topic like that..

well, im thinking about getting one, for what u say. well, for my taurus. i want to put a mustang front bumper on my taurus. ive been told the 99-04 front bumper works with a new bumper core and a lil side glassing. so i was thinking a saleen style front bumper. what would yall think? this would be after i get some rims, so dont cringe at the thought. anyone have a 99+ bumper for me to take measurements of?

Oooh have you seen this done before?
I'm not sayin one way or another, but that might not look so hot on an otherwise round car...
Or is 95 still the more square one?
Photochop one onto your car first..... then post for me to evaluate..lol

Im with Chris, sorta need to get an idea of what it might look like. It could turn out really nice, or it could look like

there is a 92-95 sho with the mustang ricer bodykit. it fits just needs the core support and a lil area where the fender meets up. ill see if i can find a pic of it done. the kit they used is a bit big, so i wouldnt use one like it, but a different one.

if u want a mustang buy a mustang..dont try and make ur taurus look like one..but if thats what u really wanna do go for it..its your car not ours..

Seriously, If that is anything like what you want to do to your car, i would say forget it...

The front is'nt too bad. If you do it, try to find somthing less rice....PPPPPlease

i think if you found the right kit it might look ok... IMO

I seen those pics a LONG time ago when my brother showed me. The front is alright, but look at the HUGE gap between the tire and the wheel well!! Also there are NO side skirts to it looks retarted. Wonder if that guy finnished that car up or if it was done then?

well, i was thinkin the saleen style front bumper, and just the front bumper. its not that im tryin to make my car become a mustang. its that there are really no bodykits for my car. and well, this would be definatly different. i was thinkin maybe just a simple gt front bumper. or a gt with a lip. something so its not that low. and the wheel well area can be fixed also.

Hmm...I think would look too out of place on a Taurus (too chunky looking). Being different is good...but I don't think putting Mustang parts on a Taurus is the way to go.

Just my honest opinion.

there's probably reasons why there isnt any body kits for your car..maybe because its a taurus?? lol but seriously i dont think that looks to hot. and remember. different isnt always better..different can look REALLY REALLY bad..lol

Yeah I'm guessing it would be harder than you think. Remember: it's the little things that end up costing $$$$. Make sure you've reserched it out before you do it. Are you installing it yourself? If not you're looking at serious money to install, paint and align. I'm sure there's at least some custom work involved. Make sure it's the look that you are going after. Don't want to have redo it! Good luck!

especially if you have no experience doing this sort of stuff..it would really suck to try and get it on and not succeed and waste hundreds of dollars on the kit..

im tryin to contact some companies that make kits directly for my application. a few of em are out in Japan, and then there is stillen. which isnt a bad lookin front bumper.

It's up to you on that but I don't know how close I'll let it come to my house.

Remember friends don't let friends drive rice!!!
