That looks sweet man!!! I always loved the 99-01 Cobra bumper. i kinda like it even more than the 03-04 in some cases. I dont think it would go with my mach very well though. Looks awesome on your car!!!

Are you front wheels 17-8's? I ask because they looked tucked more than 17-9's, but in a good way. It always looks like 17-9 or 18-9 inch wheels stick out a little too far in the front, even when running 10 inch wheels in the rear. I wish they made an 18-8.5 FR500 for the front.

thanks, theyre actually 17x9s but are wrapped in a 245/45/17 tire probably giving it that look...dunno,hehe and the rears are 18x10s wrapped in 295/35/18 BFG's...and the bumper would look badass on a mach!!

Did it take any extra work or modifications to make the chin spoiler fit? I thought you couldnt use them on a Cobra bumper?

So it lines up correctly? No gaps or anything?

I think I want that bumper...Once I saw it with the chin spoiler, which a Mach 1 HAS to have on it imo, it sold me on it. I like how the Cobra bumpers dont have the licsense plate cutout.

Yes the cobra bumper is quite nice. I've had mine on for about a year now and would never get anything else. You really make me want to go get the chin spoiler though. sucks though, here in Mass. we have to have a plate on the front too.

if you set it flush with the front bumper there will be a gap of about an inch next to the fenderwells/right before the bumper lines end...like so...

Nice choice on the bumper. As you can see, I'm partial to the '01 cobra bumper myself, I just installed mine too!
