Ya it's a small flex. The rubber on this chin is much much softer than the rubber on the Mach delete. So soft to the point that if you hold it in the middle, it'll bend in half by itself.

I'm gonna see if it straightens out over the next week or so. If not, I'll address it then.

Looks great! And I gotta say this, no disrespect, cuz your car is hawt.....but gloss up that grill delete and those side scoop inserts! Everything is clean and shiny, but those two parts just seem to stand out a little or something.

BTW....what's the difference between the Cobra side skirts and the stock GT skirts? Do they not "tilt" outwards?

The car looks beautiful, absolutely sick.

Not a fan of rear spoiler delete but it looks perfect on your car.

You need about 10 solid coats of 303 Aerospace Protectant over a period of time to get your plastic in the grill delete and the side scoop inserts back in shape. It is starting to seriously fade...

Doc,
The Cobra skirts are pretty much flat, meaning there's no crease or bend in them like the GT ones have. Just an appearance mod, but I never liked the GT skirts and the Cobra ones come painted to match (black and some other colors). Simple installation too.

I know those parts are dirty, I'll clean it this weekend

I know Killy, I got some in the garage and some other plastic conditioner I can try too.

Is that a flex in the chin that I spot?

View attachment 409635

Send it back if it is and tell them they better fix that ish!

Well, I looked at it today a bit and it's mounted correctly, so hopefully the rubber conforms back into shape. I was there when he was assembling the bumper, and you really can't mess up installing it. It's really no fault of the bodyshop per se, just another "Ford quality" part

I'll look at it again in a few days.

The flex is normal and you'll find it on many 03/04 Cobras as well. Mine isn't perfect either, I just do a good job hiding it when taking pics. So, I wouldnt worry about it.

BTW, what are you using for grill material in the center portion?

Did the 03/04 Cobra's come with some type of metal mesh mounted in there?

Ya possibly. I've never really looked at a Cobra up close, but I wondering if there's some type of plastic or metal mesh that goes in there to protect the intercooler.

It sorta looks funny all open and exposed on mine

i agree...i also dont like the random stuff you see behind the pony. i dont think its as noticeable if its not a black car...i would get black grille behind the pony and in lower bumper..
