SS front bumper on a LS?

Hey guys,
I am planning on buying the SS front bumper ($299) and having it installed on my LS? I am planning on buying the LS emblems to put on the back of my car. I just cant get over how sexy the car looks with the mail slot. Whats your thoughts? All comments welcome

I prefer the front fascia of the SS bumper, but I don't like the mail slot as much as having no mail slot.

SLP sells a block out panel for the mail slot if you want to cover it up.

When they first released the shots of the fascia with the mail slot i thought it was too much, and didn't like it. I have now come to love it, and the way it breaks up the front. The v6 fascia almost seems too flat to me now, even though that's the one i fell in love with in the beginning. (My biased opinion.)

I like that you are going to put the LS badge on the back, means you arn't trying to be an SS, you truely like the look.

I was always curious to see what the mail slot would look like with the lower v6 front fascia...it would have to be a custom job because well the mail slot is attached to the whole front fascia on the ss

I am considering the upcoming heritage grill though...tough decision.
