I like the Roush bumper, but I don't want to put it on my car. Maybe a Saleen, Cobra, or a chin spoiler. I'm not really going after whats cheapest to do, I want to do whatever looks the best.

Yeah, I've got a grille delete and it was the best thing I did for the front end of the car. I like the chin spoiler, maybe I'll just do that.

That route will save you quite a bit of money as well.

but since you claim that money doesn't really matter- get the chinspoiler painted to match

Getting a chin will greatly help the look of the stock GT front bumper. Its also a lot easier and cheaper than buying a painting a different bumper cover. I wouldn't paint the chin if you get it. It doesn't look as good when people paint them to match imo. Some other things I did to improve the looks of my front are remove the front plate, grill delete, and get smoked clear fog light lenses(not pictured).

does the roush bumper or the 3-04 cobra bumper make it any lower than my 01 cobra's. cuz after i got it lowered i got a chin spoiler and scraped everywhere so i took it off. but i dont really like the bumper i have. and i have to get somethin new now anyways since i got hit. so i want something better looking but not lower.

Im pretty sure the 03-04 cobra bumpers and the roush bumper sit lower than the 01 cobra bumper. Be careful deciding which one you want if you dont want to scrape.

Don't get a '00 Cobra R bumper with the lip. They're too low for any lowered car and possibly for a non-lowered car.

Yeah, it looks good but it is too low








Look at the front of the lip. That's after an incident with roadkill opposum. I wish I had more pics because now it's missing 1/4 of the paint from the front lip. If it ever gets "caught" on something it's going to crack every bit of the paint.

I couldn't get my foot under it with 17" wheels, but now I can get it up almost to my ankle with 18" wheels. I'm gonna get a saleen kit.

Oh. I've seen stangs with and without it. I personally don't like it, hence me keeping my stock spoiler.

It DID look killer (with paint on it), no doubt I looked around the office for the digital camera but I don't have any CD's to put in it or I'd post pics of it with the bumper the way it is now
