To shave or not to shave..03 Cobra Bumper/Wing

I posted it on other forum but I want to get your opinions also.

Ok I have a complete 03 cobra kit im installing in my GT. I will be shaving off the COBRA off the rear bumper but that gave me an idea, why not also shave off the brake light on the cobra wing also..Your thoughts.

here is my crappy photcrap (thats not my car, its an actual 03 cobra i copied from online):

If I did shave it I would add 3rd brake light inside the car, by the rear window like every other car..but I doubt ill shave it, the bumper for sure

I would not give the cops any extra reason to pull me over.

Leave the brake light but shave the bumper. I was just thinking to day how much i like the cobra bumpers and that i wouldn't mind putting them on my car as long as i could get rid of the cobra off the rear. Go for it and post pics.

Yeah some people say that the GT and terminator bumpers are the same thing but I don't think so....I've been wanting to get the body work done on my car for months but the body man I know keeps delaying....I've also been thinking of sacrificing my old GT bumper to remove the MUSTANG lettering and inserting it in the cobra one (like cut and paste)..not sure how much it would cost me though..

That looks really clean and I like it but if some idiot rear ends you and notices that or the cop on the scene noticed it they could flip the blame onto you. But pretty much everyone's car that posts on here is illegal in one way or another
