so i just ordered a 2003 cobra front bumper for my car, to be put on friday, but heres the deal...

Im getting the work done down in miami, and im currently in gainesville. A friend of mine went into the body shop today, and saw my parts (two new headlights, and a 2003 cobra front bumper..all OEM parts). Now, the bumper he says, does not look like a normal cobra bumper...according to him, the area that should house the foglights (an oval opening in which a plastic bezel is placed creating two circular holes...one for the foglamp and another on the inner part of the bumper) is not what it should look like. He says there is only one circular hole just for the foglamp. He is a trusted source and knows what a cobra bumper should look like, and says it doesnt look right. On the inside of the bumper is the part # and it also says "10th anniversary edition cobra front bumper"...so i looked up the differences in the 10th anny cobra, and none pertained to the front bumper. Any idea what the heck is going on? any suggestions will help!

You may have ended up with a 99-01 Cobra bumper on accident.

Too hard to find, and 99-01' also have two circular holes.

Sounds like its just missing the bezel and all he seen was the single circular oval where the bezel mounts.

sounds like you just need the bezels for the fogs. $22 from Randy over at MD.

If that's the bumper you received, you can see that there's still 2 distinctive holes in each lower portion. The black trim bezel merely covers the two.

You shouldn't have only one hole per side.

The two bumpers are shaped differently. The 03/04 has a flat bottom while the 99/01 bumper curves like the GTs. The foglight area on the 03/04 sticks out slightly as well.

so it turns out the UPS guy shipped MY cobra bumper to some other shop, and i got a mercury Maurader(sp?) front bumper. awesome.

we located it and recieved it...so problem solved...but thanks for the help!

Ambo...
i got the part from an auto collision shop, OEM ford part.
someone hit me in a parking lot, so instead of getting a new GT bumper, i upgraded to a cobra bumper...which was actually $12 less than the original GT(although its without foglamps, bezels, and chin bezel...which i ordered from 50resto.com
