Default Cobra rear bumper cover

Well after my little mishap with the hydroplaning I have decided to replace both bumper covers. I already have a GT front bumper cover and i plan on installing the Cobra insert into it. i like the look of the GT rear cover but I also like the look of the Cobra rear cover. I am planning on leaving the GT sides but filling in the letters. I think it would lokk different to have a GT with the Cobra rear bumper and the GT wing. What do you guys think? Would it be worth it or would I be setting myself up for criticism about driving a fake Cobra.

I dont see any problems with using a Cobra Rear Bumper Cover, I have considered it myself.

I personally think the way the Cobra bumper kicks up looks sharp. I figure since I have to replace anyways why not upgrade.

Personally, I wouldnt have anything on my car that advertise's it as anything other than what it is.

But it's your car, your the one thats going to be driving it and be seen in it so the most important opinion is that of your own.

It will not be badged as a Cobra, i am looking at the Cervinins rear cobra bumber and it has no lettering which is what i want. I personally do not like cars to be badged as something they are not.

I just like the styling of it.

i dig the cobra bumper, but i hate exposed tailpipes... im ditching my tailpipes and sticking with the LX rear, or possibly the cervini LX kit rear... havnt decided yet... body upgrades come after the rest though.
