Default Front Bumper Modifications, Thoughts?

Which one do you guys think looks better? On one hand the SAP stuff looks pretty aggressive but it's also just stuck on and you end up keeping the Grand Prix style grilles. On the Holden kit its a bit more sleek and less aggressive but there is nothing tacked on about it and it definitely is more rare. Thoughts?

The car as it sits now:


SAP:



Holden:

I like the Holden Theme. The Lion emblem is pretty cool too.

Stock looks good. The SAP isn't bad. The holden looks good, But it kind of makes the car look like in Acura. Which ever decision you make will be a good one.

Holden makes it look mean still but classier imo and its pretty rare I really love the Holden setup the SAP looks a bit meaner maybe if you were to tubb the back and get slicks all around it might work better but the Holden just looks cleaner and meaner.

i say mod the front bumper.... much cheaper then the holden bumper. i posted before that i prefer the HSV bumper but i realize it's expensive for all those imported body panels. but then again, its relative, i had i gotten teh goat i was looking at over the summer then i would have bought that hsv bumper ASAP... value is relative, is it worth for you?

i say just keep your stock bumper and paint the lower center part of the front grill black like you had mentioned in another thread. the Holden bumper looks like an Acura IMO and at some angles the headlights and upper grill look like a Chevy Malibu lol. whatever you do, im sure will look good after your done though.

SAP holdens seem to be pretty common as well plus everyone wants to do it so its going to be even more common soon. i like some other aftermarket bumpers but its your car and im sure youve done your homework so outta the two i say SAP

I voted stock...

SAP looks like a riced out Grand Prix and Holden looks like a riced out SN95 style Mustang...
