New for me, anyway. Used Cervini's bumper off the Corral. Hard to see in this photo, but I put in Cobra foglights on either side of the license plate. Yes, the car needs a wash badly. The weird stuff on the hood is peeling clearcoat - it was like that when I bought the Stang.

Now all I need is a new hood and rear bumper in forest green.

I believe the fitment was excellent. I say "believe" because my radiator support and bumper reinforcement are misaligned (from a crappy repair done before I bought the car). The tolerances are very tight under the Cervini's bumper. I had to slot the bolt holes on my bumper reinforcement to move it back up to the OEM location. I had to remove the foam bumper insert too. Once the bumper reinforcement was in the right spot, the bumper slid on with some wiggling. Like I said, it's a tight fit. This is the fiberglass bumper, it's best to hook one side around one fender then pivot the bumper towards the other side.

Worst part was slipping the bumper over the lip on the header panel, under the headlights. I kept slipping it underneath by mistake and had to pull the bumper off to fix it. The job would have been easier with a second set of hands.

This bumper is also lower than the OEM bumper, I've already scraped it a couple of times in places I had no problems before.

Ask, and ye shall receive! Didn't have time to wash the car, so it and the bumper are dirty. Love this front-on shot; all it needs is the Cervini's Mach 1 hood (ram air hood) and it would be perfect!





The bumper does not need the angle bracket holding it to the fender. It only needs the single bolt in the fenderwell.

Not my cup of tea, but all that matters is that you like it!

I don't want the car any lower, I keep scraping the bumper as it is. The Cobra conversion is going, I just keep procrastinating on finishing the car. I have a few minor things left and then it's time to get it inspected & registered (CA requires an inspection upon an engine change).
