Mixing Gt2,gt3,etc.

without offending anyone,would it be dumb to have a gt3 tail and gt2 front bumper or turbo front bumper or should i keep gt3 with gt3.I'm not trying to trick people,I'm not going to put any emblems other than what it is but what do you guys think?i know it's personal opinion but i don't want to look like a poser.

thanks

seems like you more worried about what everyone else thinks, sure guys on here are gonna say that it's sacrilegious to mix those two, but in the end everyone is gonna have there own opinion, do what you think looks good, it's your car...

Many people here have the GT3 front bumper and GT2 style rear wing(misha). So I guess it's personal choice...

Its your car man do what you want with it.
Take this car for example. The guy added Eagle Talon front lights to it and I dont hear anybody giving him crap.

It's your choice, but since you're asking all of us, I think you should go with the Mk 1 GT3 style. It would fit your lights better and be a nice overall look.

I'm really liking the rear wing, though. I was running out of places to stack my books.

I dont think you have to keep it all the same as a rule of thumb or anything. Just go by what you think looks good. Really spend the time to make sure it looks right.

For instance, a GT3 front with a misha gt2 style wing would look very good. Even a turbo/c4s style rear bumper for narrowbody might look good with a GT3 front.
