Cobra bumper on GT

My car with a 99 Cobra bumper.

I took it off after my accident and went back to a GT bumper.

That looks fantastic!.. probably because it looks so much like my previous car. ;) Did you switch back to the Gt bumper to save money, or to simply switch it up a little? My Gt received a Cobra bumper after an accident, but sometimes I did miss the standard bumper with Mach 1 chin. :shrug:

:That's exactly it - without the factory 03/04 Cobra hood, you get a gap. The newly drilled holes should be about 3/4 an inch or so in front of the old holes. Test the fitment before you drill, and you'll be set. :nice:

No....just the opposite. GT hood and 03 Cobra bumper is a tight fit and might require the new holes for the bumper (mine fit tight, but still worked like bigoragnegt said, without the new mounting holes).

You get the gap when you use the GT bumper with a 03 Cobra hood.

Yeah, your right. I kept thinking about that, and what your saying makes sense. I have seen the mounting holes for the flares by the headlights redrilled inwards to get a better fit with the 03 bumper, and I assumed it pulled the bumper higher.
 
i just payed 250 for my 04 cobra cover from the dlr and all i will need to do is get the fog lights it looks good. the onle problem when i was trying to get it was the 2 that are in the ford book with the fog's they do not have them anymore you have to get just the cover and buy the rest in parts
 
i know that is what i had a problem with they must not have been making the kit for sometime or all the gt owners are using them up.. do you want to go oem or can use after market but the problem with that is sometimes they do not fit to well i will get the picks of my 04 dsg with the cobra cover on it
 
TTT...so it is the general consensus that there is no need to drill to install the 03 Cobra bumper on a GT w/ the stock GT hood? And your saying you havre to drill to get the 03 cobra hood to line up w/ a 03 cobra bumper on a GT? That doesn't make much sense to me....??
