Hey gents. Well, im finally gettin rid of this v6 hood And picking up a Cobra R hood locally on Saturday. My front bumper is damaged at the bottom so its time for a new bumper as well. I'm trying to think of what bumper to get that flows well with the body of the car and hood, so here are the options to go with the Cobra R hood

1.) GT Bumper again, but with grill delete and chin spoiler
* This is by far the cheapest option but the least original and most common bumper. Still looks good though
2.) 99/01 Cobra Bumper
* Best looking one i think. The only problem is that it has been discontinued so its very hard to find and the prices are RIDICULOUS (~500 unpainted)
3.) 03/04 Cobra Bumper
* A good alternative to the GT bumper and not very expensive, but many think its too bulky to match the GT and requires the rest of the Cobra body parts to look right
4.) Roush Stage 3 Bumper
* The most original bumper out of all 4 but has the same issue as the 03/04 Cobra bumper as it doesnt fit the body. My buddy says its too low for the rest of the car and needs the side exit and Roush tall spoiler to balance it out.

Lemme know what you guys think because your input will help out alot. If any of you know where ot get any of these bumpers for a really good price, please let me know. Let the voting begin

1) 99/01 Cobra Bumper with some sort of chin spoiler
2) Roush
3) 03/04 Cobra
4) GT
I've wanted the # 1 set-up for a while now. Stupid KB fund is taking too long.

99-01' Cobra bumper FTW! (See SIG). I want to get the Cobra R hood myself to go with it - I think that would be a sweet combo.

Damn. That hood would look nice on my car, don't you think?

As for the thread topic, either Cobra hood would look nice though I prefer the 03/04, especially with the sideskirts...

I've seen the Roush Stage 3 bumper with the hood...It looks really good. I've thought about doin that, but my bf ended up getting the Roush bumper when he got hit.
