Opinions on FG style bumper swap on ba xr6

[Lachlanking]

Thinking about replacing my NA Ba xr6 front bumper with an fg style one, already has a boss hood and a bobtail. My mates think its ricey to swap parts between the different models but I think it's tasteful. Honest opinions please

but I think if it looks how I imagine it does it should ne tasteful. Wondering if it will line up nicely with xr6 side skirts and looking for honest opinions

This is @Panda Eyes car - he did what you're talking about.

and he copped a mountain of responses that said it was ugly... and it still is, it just looks wrong...

 

otherwise, his car is pretty sick in it's setup - boss bonnet, sunroof, big rims, lowered, DRL's etc all on a B-series falcon.

It's not that bad. It just needs to be painted differently.

If I did it, it would be in venom red without the the teardrops, does anyone know if the lines match up or is that something I'd have to ask panda?

[k31th]

they don't match up, it hangs weirdly low compared to the side skirts etc, doesn't line up to the quarter panel etc.

mhm may have to rethink then might look kinda wack, thanks for the info boys

I did notice that it kinda looked like it was inspired from a goldfish.

 

Mebbe Scotty can post some more pics of his car so op can get a better idea of what it looks like.
