Ok so some of you guys know my car has been in the body shop for a while blah blah. I bought a cobra bumper for it from ABC Exclusives. It was shipped just wrapped in bubble wrap, it came pre-warped a little bit, it came needing a butt load of sanding, cutting, and shaping and the mounting harware was a joke. I took it back to Mustangs Unlimited who supplied it for 285 dollars.

I called cervinis and they wanted 299 for one. Shipping was 107 bucks for freight shipping though. My ONLY complaint with Cervinis is the fact that it was backordered 10 days, BUT the quality is 109990780475 Million times better. It has holes for the factory mounting hardware, came smooth as a baby's butt and no silicone release agent, and pre-cut. And they didn't expect you to use wood screws to mount the bumper

Just my experience I thought I'd let you guys know that IMO Cervinis is well worth the extra money!!

PS And I was one of those guys that was like, nah I'll never buy from cervinis, they are money hungry bitches, really they just know that they have a good product.


AGAIN: JMO


Edit: ALso the grooves in the bumpers for the body line were night and day difference. The body line was almost non existant on the ABC, it was like it had been molded and copied a million times and the line just faded away, the Cervinis had a nice crisp line!!!

Yeah, my friend didn't have to good of luck with his 96-98 Cobra ABC bumper on his 98 Gt. They said it was supposed to line up and bolt-up no problem. The alignment on it:not nice:

I've been telling everybody this for over a year now. I bought the Cervinis saleen ground effects for my '91. My body man said they were the best molds he'd EVER SEEN! Cervinis = QUALITY Yes you can find stuff cheaper, but as the sang goes "you get what you pay for" Cervinis is worth the extra money EVERY time. They great quality parts. I'm installing a cobra grille insert now.... sure you can get them on ebay for like $30.00 and $89.99 and 50resto.com. But i'm buying it from Cervinis for like $155.00. Just because I KNOW it will be a quality part. When it comes to some things, you can't always be a cheap ass

AlmostStock used an ABC Stalker Bumper and swears by it. Hit and miss, I guess.

Cervini's is hands down the best in the market. They do indeed know that they have the best products, hence the extra dough for what they sell. For anyone who wants Cervini's products CHEAP, it's worth making a trip to the Carlisle PA All Ford Nationals in June. Every year, they have a stand in the vendor's area. They bring about 85% of their products to the show every year and they're way cheaper than list price. Plus, no shipping. The cobra rear bumper lists for $299 plus S/H and at Carlisle it can be had for $230. I know from experience.

Thanks for the info Beast. I'm getting a hood soon and it now looks like it will be Cervini's all the way.

Anytime I have personal experience comparing two products I like to share my good/bad dealings.

No the car is not done, as soon as I get it back it will be lowered, 5 lug, smoked headlights, 3 inch tails, and a few other choice mods, should be quite tasteful!!!

Yeah I know and he was the one who influenced me the most to buy from ABC, I guess they just don't have good consistency!
