Fake because:
* Driver's air bag should say "COBRA" on it
* Gauges should be white
* Seats should be a combo of smooth and suede leather
* Should have an intercooler
* Cobra also has round foglights. Tought to tell from that picture if they are there or not.

The giveaway:
The door mirrors are not painted. On all 03s, the mirrors are painted and you can move them.

If you look at the interior pic. the cars paint is green. They gave you a pick of the bullit in the back round of the first pic. The cobra is black.
Just my .02

It is definitely a fake as the '03 Cobra interior is NOT available in Parchment. That is a GT interior.

That's the interior of a GT...just like mine. And I can't remember, but aren't the 03' Cobras supposed to have a Cobra emblem up front? The car in the picture has a pony. Here is the link for the pic of my GT interior just for comparison.

FYI, 03+ Cobras do not have the amber back up lights.

Ford's policy of reducing the production costs I guess...

BTW, 03 Cobras do not have a snake emblem up front. Most guys put one though.

Don't be fooled guys, this is not one of the 299 1993 Cobra R either

The Bullit appears to be missing the Bullit "C" Pillar.....

The car in question is definitely NOT a Cobra.

The Bullit in the backround is a little tougher. Based on the "C" Pillar (mentioned above) they are not correct if it really is a Bullitt. There have been plenty of cases where "regular" Mustang parts were mistakenly put on a Bullitt. I almost bought one with a mismatched "C" Pillar until I noticed it was wrong.

The paint color is exclusive to the Bullitt so if it ISN'T a Bullitt they repainted the whole damn car.

Could go either way....either a fake that has been repainted a different color entirely or a REAL Bullitt with at least one wrong "C" Pillar.

Fake! As everyone has said...interior. Plus it's most likely a 5spd not a 6.

The plastic part linking the quarter panel to the roof. Located between the rear and quarter panel windows.
