Since i m getting my car painted, i have the option of going with the cobra hood and bumper for 300 bucks more, so what do you guys think keep it stock or go with the cobra bumper and hood. I was looking at cobras hood but couldn't see a differnce, is there one? The bumper is obious

That is up to personal preference i dont hate on fobras. Just as long as they understand you got to get that car into atleast the 13's if you want to keep the bumper. Otherwise you lose your privledges (sp.) haha jk

get abc exclusive's front lip for the gt bumper. i would've gotten it, but i had to buy a whole new front bumper, so i went w/ their cobra bumper w/ lip just because i like the round and wide-placed fog lights, not necessarily because it's a cobra bumper.

Yeah do the cobra bump with the abc lip. On the hood did you mean a Cobra R hood?

Yes, 94-95 cobras had the same, the 96-98 Cobras had the two nostrils and the hump between them.

I always wondered this, does the abc exclusive front lip come seperate or is it just molded as one with the bumper. So can I just paint it and add on a GT lip to my existing GT bumper?

Don't copy the Kewbra - hit up the aftermarket places and personalize it to your own liking. Although the cobra bumper is pretty much a must these days if you want a decent fog light setup and a rounded off front. There definitley aren't that many good front bumpers out there.

Well I just contradicted myself so do whatever

they sell the the lip that you add on to your existing bumper, AND a bumper with the lip already molded on--1 piece. i myself got teh 1 piece since i needed a new bumper anyway.
