I was thinking the same thing, not about burning up the switch but installing the lightWhy wouldn't those work in 87-93 GTs as well?
Seems like a decent way to get more output and burn up some more headlight switches

No turning back now. Concept looks good. What color are you going to paint it?
It really depends how deep the gouges are. I can't tell by the photo, but it will only add an extra thirty minutes to the repair to glaze them. Better safe than going through another primering. Adhesion promoter, don't forget adhesion promoter.I will be leaving it the stock silver. I like the color combo, and that is one part about this car I do not want to change. I will be respraying the silver all the way around the car, as well as replacing the orange stripe in the middle of the mouldings.
Today's progress started out with the whole gang having a meeting of the minds.
Got the stock bumper trimmed at the moulding line, and decided since I will be keeping the front plate mount, I can hide a couple screws to hold the middle of the bumper nice and secure. The 03 bumper is now sliding back behind the moulding line.
As you can see, the sides were just kinda there at this point, but I was making sure I had it sitting at the right level, so when looked at from the side, it isnt too high/low compared to the side skirts.
I cut off the GT front extensions, and notched under them like I did the bumper to allow the Cobra bumper to fit behind them like it does the upper front bumper.
Sorry, didnt snap any pics of the test fit after that point, but it fits pretty well. Once the adhesive arrives, I am going to start in the middle, and only mix a little at a time to slowly work my way around being sure it fits just right. Then I will go back and smother the entire backside for good, using Dave's drywall mesh technique. Then throw a thin coat on the front to make it look like one big bumper again. In the mean time, I started body working the Cobra bumper. The side SN body lines are gone! The plastic is pretty thin after sanding that line out. so I will be adhering a small metal brace behind each side to add back some rigidity.
These pics were taken shortly after I washed it off with the hose. The plastic is smooth, the dark spots are water.
@Davedacarpainter , what do you recommend I put over the top of the raw plastic sides? Should I glaze it, or go straight to high build primer?
With my LX fender extensions I can still removed the nose. I'd suggest using 3m tape to adhere the sides of the bumper to the lower fender. If you glue it with panel bonding agent you'll never get the nose off again without destroying something.
The wheel well line isn't dealt with on my car yet. I'm interested to see how you get it done. Great job so far....you're getting it done way faster than me. I like the body line being removed. Nice work !!!
Have you built a jig to put the two pieces of the bumper in yet?
You'll want them to be real stable during the curing process.
