The range of body kits for the cc are not as good as the ce. I think you can get similar side skirts, but the front and back are all curved flat and dont angle out like the vertex
if the one posted as glxi is first edition i prefer it over the round one. every glxi i have ever seen that hasn't had a front bar replaced is the first style. it sits lower and can easily get cracked glxi's are hard to find so most get uglied up with a gl bar.
I like it but yes it would take some work to transform a stock early CC bumper into that.
Cutting out the bars would leave holes and take some fiberglass or other to fill and strengthen it. I'd say the best option is to get one from a wrecker and that way if anything goes wrong then you haven't screwed up your existing bumper. Plus it might take weeks to do the work. Don't want to drive around with a 'naked car' LOL
Wonder how it would look by cutting out the end 'fog light' holes and replacing them with mesh, could be done in a weekend with repainting if needed.
