Default GT 500 front fascia?

Do you guys think it would be rice to put the GT 500 front fascia on my car? I saw one in person today and absolutely loved it! All I'm talking about is the fascia, no snake emblems, no Shelby badges, no Shelby hood, just the front fascia with a billet grille.
On another note, does the GT 500 have different headlamp assemblies than the rest of the Mustang line or the same? I only ask because of the steeper slant of the sides of the grille.

I love the Cobra fascia too! If you're going to do it, definitely do it without the snake badges. I wouldn't necessarily call it "rice", like you ask, but it would be no different than alot of people on here that go with the GT front, rear and sides. If you define rice as something that looks tacky, then no.. it's not. If you define rice as trying to look like something you're not, then yes. The last thing anyone would want is for some moron to race you, beat you, and then go brag to everyone that he just wasted a Cobra. Same goes for all the GT look-alikes here.

That last sentence is a very telling statement. I do believe that once I get the gold striping done and a rear black honeycomb on the trunk on that I will start thinking about 4.0 or 245 emblems-I like them.

I'm definitely going to do the 4.0 badges so that there will be no confusion as to which engine I have, especially if I go with the GT 500 hood.

nonstopred, why do you say that it won't look good w/o the hood?

No your wrong theres a bunch of people that have done it without the hood and I think it looks great, Just go to TMS theres a couple of members there that have done it without the hood and it looks awesome, and its not rice at all your just making your ride unique.
