I'm looking to do a few cosmetic changes to the stang...I have quite a few road scars on the front bumper, and hood (scratches, small paint chips). I'd like to go with the Roush Stage III fascia, and a functional heat extracting hood. I would like to know who offers the best quality/price parts? FYI: I'm not opposed to getting a CF hood...simply because it takes away the initial prep/painting cost...I'd be willing to leave it unpainted for a little while atleast. The only functional hoods I know of are the Niche '00 Cobra R, and the '03-'04 Cobra. Where can I find these things at the best quality per cost?

Does anybody have an opinion on the ABC Exclusive Fascias...I kinda like the one that incorporates the Cobra R w/ the saleen front...but I've always heard bad things about ABC's quality...any opinions?

I like the 03-04 cobra hood and bumber on your body style. Clean but still muscular. Top that off with the matching spoiler and your good to go.

Blue Oval has some good prices on Cobra parts, such as the hood - $299:

I'm kinda partial to that same look.
... I have not heard consistently GOOD things about ABC. I would not recommend them.

Note: there is a bit of a "gap" from the Cobra hood and the S3 front fascia.

Yeah, small gap, but I was willing to live with it. I couldn't pass up the awesome deal I got on the hood.


More pics in my sig if you want to see different angles.
