I just picked up a new Cobra front facia from late model restoration supply and a set of the clear foglights. I am swapping my original GT bumper and foglights for this setup however I have run into a slight problem. The cobra foglights do not mate up to the bumper that is attached to the body. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem when switching bumpers and foglights and what is a solution? I believe I will have to notch out the part that hits the bumper in order for the bolt holes for mounting to line up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i did the same thing and mine bolted up fine, i didnt use all the holes but they still bolted up fine to where the gt fog light holes were. a picture of where it bolts up and your fog light would help.

These are all the pics I have right now at work. The foglights are hitting the bar I have circled in the pic. The left hand hole is what is hitting. I need to take more pics later this afternoon and then I will post them. Maybe this will help for now.

I did the same thing to my GT last summer and ran into zero problems. My car is a GTS and came w/out foglights. I ordered an OE pair from DPS and got the mounting hardware from a local Ford dealership. They went right in w/out any modifcations.
