opinions? Jekyl or Hyde / duck or no duck

can I get some opinions/input please. trying to lighten things up a little so I put on some fiberglass I had laying around. just rattle canned it to get past the collector car police.

what do you guys think? it may well be my imagination but the car does seem to track better at speed now, less 'darty'. also FWIW I got my first speeding ticket in years the day after I put on the duck.

Jekyl.............................................



Hyde.............................................

Don,
Jeckyl for sure. I think that the stock front bumper and lid look way better. The duck is nice and looks ok, in my opinion, but the stock/hot rod look you have going on, with the headlight/wheel combo, is hard to beat. just my opinion, i may be wrong.

Regards,

Al

well Al. I swing both ways on this one. I like the looks of both versions. the 'sleeper' stock look is cool but so is the 'in-your-face' hot rod look. the big issue now is I've got it down to 2100 lbs and I don't want to go back. maybe keep the S bumper and rear bumper, I can put chrome trim on those. the duck doesn't weigh much if any less than the stock lid.

does anyone make a stock-look front bumper in fiberglass?
