03 Cobra Bumper Fitment Issue... :(

[Bullitt4711]

Ok... So I knew this would be a problem, but I didnt realize the shop would want to charge me 600 dollars to modify the 03 Cobra front bumper to with with a non-cobra hood.

I know there have been people who have installed the Cobra bumper on their Mustangs, so do you guys have any guidance or solutions for fitment of the bumper on my Mach1? I need help desperately! Does anybody know step by step instructions on how to mount the bumper so it fits with clearance from the hood? I need step by step instructions to give the body shop... And pictures wouldn't hurt either. Thanks!

P.S. Hopefully I'll have the car back soon with the new bumper and carbon fiber Mach1 hood (which I saw today and it looked PERFECT!).

It's a minor mod, you just redrill a new hole about .75 of an inch up, and remount it.

View attachment 448507 Think of it as $300 per hole, and lube isn't included.

My boss has an 03 Cobra bumper on his GT, with the GT hood, and he has no fitment problems.

If they want to charge you $600.00 to install that, promptly drive your car to another shop while giving them the bird out the window.
