Since Ford no longer makes the 94-98 Cobra bumper has anyone used another website to get one and had GOOD results? I have wanted to swap for years and now they are no longer available. Can anyone shed some light on another source option? Thanks!

NO...
ABC is not good. They curl at the ends where they meet up with the quarter and stick out. I have worked on all of them and they will cost more labor just to look half as good as factory.
Best bet is to find a used OEM 96-8 Cobra rear. I found 3 when I was looking for mine. I found all three on ebay from between $150 and $200. Bought all three, picked the best one and sold the other two.

I feel as though alot of people may post them up for sale as being OEM and they are't. Ugh. What is wrong with ford, its a popular item! And lets be real, the cobra bumper is the ONLY bumper worth buying. The Saleen sits as high as stock and all the others look ricer. Its a lose lose.

Not sure how much your wanting to pay, but im assuming your looking for the front bumper. American muscle has them in stock it looks like? http://www.americanmuscle.com/cobra-frontbumper-9498.html
I can't say i have bought one from them, but I have always had success with my other purchases from American muscle and it seems like the reviews for it are good. Hope it helps
