Default ws6 bumper suggestions...

some of you may know, my car was ran into by an old man in a pick up. see thread....

https://ls1tech.com/forums/racers-lo...t-tonight.html

car is currently at the body shop. since there were two more t/a's painted the same color green as mine, i thought i would change things up a bit. i plan on getting a meacham or wsq hood.

my front bumper was tore up too and im probably going to go back factory but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on a bumper / air dam / or splitter lip that would look good to help set me apart.

suggestions?

I just have to say, Ive always thought green wasnt a great color, but man, that color green on your car is just fantastic! I would personally keep the stock WS6 bumper. Cant go wrong there. The Mecham hood? Eh...I like the WSq hood better. But thats just my .02 lol

Dont do the Wings West, it looks really bad! If you are getting a new hood, either WSQ or WS9 hood. If you want a splitter, look at the 6lE splitter. It looks really nice.

I love the Mecham hoods. Gives it an exotic look and sets it apart from the other millions of WS6 hoods out there.

That hood is sick and combined with your car color and the 6LE splitter, your car would look unreal!
