Steeda Front Fascia

[DarkSubRosa]

Just clicked your Instagram could see what your saying about the winglets but my opinion I don't see much of a difference to justify 1000$+ maybe just have to see in person lol

I completely agree. I do love the subtle more aggressive changes but not for 1000 clams. My least favorite part of the stock bumper is the area around the fog lights, I would have preferred that area get some refreshing.

What do you think a fully urethane bumper should cost? This isn't some cheap fiberglass mold that's going to crack the first time something hits it. The OEM bumper plus lip is $500 before paint and the cost is allocated across their entire worldwide production. Companies like Roush and Steeda are producing parts at a much much lower quantity and amortizing those costs over that smaller volume leads to a higher consumer price. I feel like people (not directing this only at you guys) that complain about aftermarket parts cost don't understand the business side of it and logistics as to where the price comes from. Some companies you are going to pay a tax for the name, I get it. But in general I feel like A LOT of the parts we're offered from all the companies on our cars are very fair.

the difference between the steeda and the roush painted is about $300 right now(just bought a roush fascia, noone pays msrp...we got vendors here) both are great options. IF you want more of a radical change then the roush option is more. We got options now. It's not just roush or some funky gt350 clone. Options are a good thing...and there is still the option of staying oem.

either way steeda, roush, gt350 clones aren't far apart from each other now in price and offer variety. I personally like them all but the gt350 clones. I just need more mustangs so I can oem, steeda, and roush.

Didn't say it wasn't worth it, just not worth it to me

I don't think the two of them are necessarily put off about the price in general. I think their opinions are based more on the thought of spending $1,000 for a front fascia that looks VERY similar to the OEM version, that's all. I could be wrong, but that's my guess.

Look, I've got nothing but love for Steeda. I spent over $700 with them last month and just spent another $800+ on their products earlier this week. They make good stuff and I'm loving it. I have to agree though that the new fascia looks much to close to OEM for my personal taste in order to justify spending that kind of money. Sure, if I could get it pre-painted for $500, then yeah, I'd be all over it. But that's obviously not cost-effective for them. For over $1,000 though, I'd much rather buy a fascia that looks drastically different from stock. By no means am I implying it's a bad product. I'm sure it's high-quality. It's just too close to stock for me to justify spending that amount of money, that's all.

Alright everyone the custom-made box fit the fascia to our liking so we have ordered additional boxes, once we receive those in we can start shipping the fascias. I am being told about a week to a week and a half or so for the boxes although please do not hold me to it, just the messenger.

Another angle to hold you over:

:cheers: That I can fully understand and appreciate and like VTECSAUCE commented a few posts ago, if it's too close to the oem for some peoples tastes that's completely understandable. I was probably being hyper sensitive to complaints about costs since I feel like there has been a lot of that in other threads that were purely people being cheap vs a personal preference. I didn't mean to come off like an ass about it if so.

You guys will see a DIB before the end of the weekend. Polishing out the clear coat imperfections as we speak

 

[Obsessed]

Does this fascia reuse the bottom grill or leave it open?

 

[DIB2015]

Reuses everything. I'm going to be removing the RTR from my stock bumper for this. Finishing polish removed about 90% of imperfections (That I can see with light and eye only). Can't wait to get it installed
