If you are looking for the 01 Cobra bumper it's been discontinued as a kit from FRPP. So you can either buy the parts individually or try and find the kit somewhere that might have old stock.

You'll have to track down the fog lights and bezels though.

Im sure the dealer or most body shops could get them. They're the same as the Cobra R fogs naturally and look like the Stalker or Roush fogs would even work.

Theres a brand new bumper with lights. They're still out there in some places..

The gears usually aren't that expensive, not more than $200. It's the install that can be pricey. You've really gotta watch where you get em done. I've heard a lot of complaints from people about bad gear installs.

And on ratio, it depends on your plans for the car. If you plan on using a FI at some point 3.73s are pretty accepted, if you plan to stay NA 4.10s are where it's at and if you have an auto then bump those up one, 4.10 and 4.30 respectively.

It's mostly gas mileage. The reason most people say to go with a lower ratio if you have FI is so you can keep some traction. Although if you were using a centrifugal blower then you want to get into the higher RPM faster so having more gear could be handy.

Are you running an auto or manual?

i called ford today to see how much it would be to paint a bumper cover and hood and they said it would be around $500, that seems kinda pricey to me but i dont know? is that too expensive for paint?
