the bumper is a tad bit higher than the stock hood. from what I understand celibria somehow rigged her stock hood to fit with the gt-four bumper; you should talk to her.

in my opinion, you can do the hood without the bumper, but not the bumper without the hood... the bumper is a tad bit higher than stock hood in the middle of the bumper, so you'd have this gap facing the rear of the car where the bumper sticks up.... would look mad dumb.... now if you put the hood on a stock bumper, it looks decent becuse the gaps facing the front of the car, so it looks like a vent.... i heard becuase it alows cold air into the car, it adds like 20 hp...

and the curse is just about everyone whos sunk money into transforming the front of their cars into the gt4 front end, has gotten it ruined.....

You can look to Neverstop's project to see what that gap looks like and how he got rid of it.

yes... gt4 hood and OE bumper looks good, but think of the OE hood with gt4 bumper.... that would look stupid IMO
