Check Craig's List. There are people parting out Mustangs on there ALL the time. You could probably find a good bumper cheap, and while it may not be the right color, it would be factory Ford stuff and not require much fitting. A shop would spray it correct for 3-400$ or less if you do the prep work.. I'd imagine this would be less than a 500$ repair, but I haven't seen pictures.

ide go with craigslist too, the mustangs unlimited covers are remakes unless you get the original ones, which cost a bajillion dollars. when i worked there i used to get calls from guys who couldnt make the aftermarket ones fit right. deff look around you'll prolly save money and headaches.

It won't be cheap. I just had mine replaced. The aftermarket ones are supposed to fit well, but don't have "MUSTANG" across like like OEM ones do. I got mine from a junk yard. But by the time you pay for it to get patched, prepped, sanded, painted, etc.. it gets pretty expensive.

I bought a 50resto nose cone and cobra insert for my droptop. It fit good.
