Changing fascias is never okay, in my opinion. Just makes the car look like its something its not.

I know he wants opinions and he obviously has them now, but he pays the bill.

I don't understand why that's so hard. 95% of the population won't know or notice the difference in his bumper. It's not "posing".
Great. Bolden select parts of my statement while ignoring key parts of what I actually posted, including where I said it was my opinion. Nice work.

It's all based around opinion. Don't let it bug you.

The SS bumper on an LS/LT is an upgrade IMO, however the V6 bumper can look really good with a splitter and/or T2 ports added as well. What I don't get is why people put ZL1 bumpers on the LS/LT, that just makes no sense at all to me. Kind of makes me think someone would be trying to make up for something lacking in the car.

It's your car do what you want to do.

I did the SS bumper conversion back in Jan 2010 and I just did the ZL1 bumper conversion 2 weeks ago on my 2LT/RS

If both stock, the SS front fascia looks better IMO. So I say put one on an LS/LT if the person thinks it looks better.

My opinion is don't. If I had an SS, I'd put an LS/LT front bumper on it.
i put a ls/lt bumper on my 2ss/rs a few years ago. keep in mind i have the slp front and rear ss badges not to mention a cammed ls3 sounds nothing like a 6 cyl. i was leaving a car show one night and this mustang follows me out like he wants to race. so he gets next to me at a light and says "why do you have ss badges on a v6" .

Just get an aftermarket bumblebee front end. I'll probably end up costing you less and you won't have to worry about people accusing you of being a poser.

I realy think this has nothing to do with poseing. That could be another thred maybe. I think this is a body mod thing and just do what you want. Some of the best options on these cars are the ones you add to it. The Camaro is a personal tipe car so just go with it and make it your own.

The other day I seen a Mustang guy driving his GT, but he replaced his rear GT badge with a stage 2 badge. I thought that was really cool.
