modifying your header panel

I think it's gay to pay to much for car parts. You're right, it would look stupid to tuck a hood under a hood lmao.

The cervinis and ford stuff is too f'ing expensive! You don't have to modify the bumper ,you modify the header panel that the bumper attach's too.

I bought a stalker hood about 7.5 years ago. Before the 03 cobra was introduce. Modifying the header panel allowed it to mount up nice with the 03 cobra bumper, and took a whole 20 mins.

Yeah, I guess I misread the above posts, thought Cervinis made the bumper too. So let me ask again, where is the best place to get an 03 cobra bumper? The cervinis version of the cobra hood is called the heat extractor, correct?

All you do is redrill the hole for the bumper a 1/2 inch back from the original. IIRC thats how we did mine.

Heres how mine turned out with a Cervinis 95 style Cobra R hood.

If I Remember Correctly.

Jivepepper, front bumper looks great even if aftermarket haters think it's not quality.

I've seen a few of the aftermarket 03-04 Cobra bumpers and you can't tell the difference from stock. I know the 94-98 Cobra bumpers (aftermarket) aren't nearly as good fitting. For those saying the aftermarket stuff is crap show examples of bad installs for that particular bumper cover. Some years they get dead on and others can have problems but you can't group them all together. Oh and aftermarket reproduction bumpers are not fiberglass that's for body kits and half breed bumpers like that snow shovel mutant 99 Cobra bumper that Steeda made. You know the one that is usually hanging or ripped from people hitting parking stops or small animals.
