Opinions/Comments needed on Cobra Bumper

[chalosf]

I bought a complete 03 Cobra kit including Hood that I am installing on my GT. I also got some Cobra wheels but with pony caps. Initially I was going to remove the "COBRA" lettring on the back bumper since I don't have a Cobra and didn't feel it was appropriate. However after seen some pics of cobra bumpers with shaved lettering I'm really no digging them (i have only seen 2 mustangs with shaved bumper), I wish there was a way to engrave "MUSTANG" on the bumper.

What are you guys thoughts on these, all my GT badges are staying. Should shave the lettering or keep it them.

Why shave the lettering? pay all that money just to remove the "cobra" sign?

Just leave it, who cares. Its not like your switching all the emblems to "cobra's" that's just part of the bumper

Shave the bumper and ditch the badges If you know someone whos good with body work they might be able to graft the mustang letters onto the cobra bumper but im sure it would cost an arm and a leg.

+3 on the shave, just a pet pieve of mine to see a non Cobras with the badging

same here, shave the cobra on the back. Ive seen a couple that did a good job. and it looked good.

you could just put in a 4v and go ahead and keep the letter, other wise, shave it.

Even then I'd still shave the lettering. Driving around with GT badges and Cobra engraved on your bumper makes it look like your car is mentally challenged. Here is an example of a local car that gets crap about it all the time when he posts pictures, haha - The Elusive GT Cobra:

Shaving a stock bumper with bondo is hardly the right way to do it.

Thats called. Ghettoooo

Shave that SHIIEET!!!

If it says COBRA....... it better be faster than a COBRA.

Is it just me...or does anyone else have this pet peeve?

Exhaust tips!!!

They MUST be perfectly straight and even!...otherwise it distracts from anything I might even like about the car.

Anyways, they did do a good job on the bumper...but those exhaust tips...

Im a fan of the shaved bumper...just make sure you use the right products to fill it. Not bondo. I used the 3M plastic parts filler/repair kit. Worked great...

I think that looks really good personally, shaved letters look clean!

Who said it was bondo? Or is that the only filler you know of?
