I bought a Ford unit....all I had to do is get the fogs with brackets....got them from Blueovalindustries on Ebay...I got clears for 119.00 shipped...had to open up the bolt holes on the brackets...done deal...otherwise everything i took of the GT bumper was re-used...The Cobra has the air deflector built into it, unlike the GT has the Black plastic pc..

the lights are about 10 tens better than stock GT ones, whick aren't worth jack..

How much did that piece run you? I was thinking about getting a Cobra front facia since my stock ones needs a repain REAL bad (rock chips live crazy)...the only thing I am worried about are the Cobra (and others who are "in the know") guys calling me a poser.

I got mine in the classifieds..It was Rio Red unit, mint...pd 300.00 shipped...
Screw the poser stuff, I could care less..i didn't try to make a Cobra nor pass it off as one, I just plain like the look better than any other bumper...

Sweet. I ordered mine from Ford today. I can't afford the fogs until mid May tho. But thats awesome that you dont need anything else. I can't wait.

Thanks again

ARBOC...FWIW...If you need the front license holder go here..they sell for like 20.00 and its an OEM ford part with the plastic rivets to attach it...The holes will prolly be in the bumper for the holder...

The Cobra bumper looks so much better. I haven't seen a single aftermarket bumper that looks as nice.

i dont think its ripping the Cobra R off. You like the look, just go for it. Its your car, if you like it then who gives a **** what other people say.
Example. I like the look of the 96-98 tail lights. So im going to get em when I have some extra cash. I know people on here think "its gay" "you wanna look like a mod sn95". No, its cuz I like the lok. and I dont care who thinks bad of me. its my darn car lol!

Has anyone noticed the cobra bumper seems to go better with the cobra hood and the bumper by itself looks kinda strange? Im probably just crazy. Its like the "nostrils" on the cobra hood help balance the circular foglamps.

I have a cervini ram air hood to go along with my cobra bumper. I think it'll look sweet. I really want the 2000 cobra r hood but oh well. maybe next time around.

Stripped 5.0, is that a cervini stalker bumper. Nice choice. Is it the fiberglass one or the plastic one?
