You know, its fkn amazing when you think about it.....a chin spoiler is simply a piece of curved plastic, yet it costs $100+. It probably only costs $10 to manufacture

you'd think we'd be used to being screwed over by ford.. lol

I bought a license bracket at the dealership yesterday, and it was almost 40 dollars! I haven't put it on yet, cause i can't bring myself to drill into that beautiful bumper.

Just an idea, but I am sure you could get it to fit. If nothing else just get the less expensive manual one and maybe trim a bracket or drill an extra hole without messing up your bumper! For me the $40 would be worth it just to see, if not put it in the classified section or ebay.

Glad to see you didn't let the bigger opening shy you away from the Termi bumper for a 99/01 style. You can now put fear into the hearts of everyone who grabs a shot of that front end in their rearview. It's aggressive, sexy, and I dig it.

The grill delete really makes the front of your car look so much better. Still not a fan of the round foglights however. Did you notice how you can adjust the foglights? Have you dialed them in and lubed the adjustment assemblies? If you do not apply PB Blaster or something they really tend to corrode and stick.

Do not drill your front bumper you can get a bracket that works without having to do that.

I bought one of the 03 Cobra rears with no letters from a Mustang vendor to keep the word COBRA off my car, got it in and it fit like garbage, body shop spent 4 hours trying to get it close to factory and it just wasnt happening, so I ordered an OEM Cobra rear and now I feel kind of obligated to get cams to help the car perform better...I love how this stuff works!
