Which front bumper for airflow...

[moneypit94]

I sold my stock front bumper with the xenon cover on it. I need something that will allow as much air flow as possible but still doesn't look bad. Most of the ones I have seen with wide openings don't look right on the sn95 cars.

I see that abc exclusive makes a 03 cobra front bumper for our cars, That would work but i don't think it looks quite right on ours. (some guy in the last 5.0 mustang had one, besides redoing the lights)

If i would go that route i probably wouldn't buy it from abc because i have heard people complain about quality but if they make them then others will soon follow.

the saleen one would work too but i would prefer having something that isn't trademarked like that. (cobra's and saleens are awsome, but i have never been a fan of cobra or saleen clones)
Which ones do you guys like?

Saleen or the original cervini's stalker front end. Its not the best looking front end I have ever seen, but tis not bad and it has a HUGE opening.

anybody like the xenon front bumper that looks like a modified cobra front bumper?

I will say far as non cheesy goes it looks to be between the saleen or the stalker.

I'm pretty sute thats the bumper 95strokerpsu(sp?) has. If your going for function that would be the bumper to get. You can pass a hurricane through it trust me I've seen hurricanes lol.

i was going to say get the 03 cobra (not the cobra R) from ABCexclusive before i read what you wrote.

i dont really like the saleen front bumper, and i have one in my backyard if i want to put it on. it just doesnt do it for me

the stalker front bumper looks great but might not be enough opening for what you need.

that other one that cervinis offers looks good too. i have seen this one, and looks alot better in person

go here
http://www.abcexclusive.com/mustangs_home.htm

click on bumper covers, and under 94-98 bumpers, click on "Factory 03 Cobra Style F. Bumper Cover"

there you go

it actually looks pretty cool with that ram air hood. i think my light bulb just turned on LOL

Like stated before you can see an 03 bumper on an snl95 in the newest 5.0mustang mag with the orange mustang on the cover. The guy also did some work and got the newer style headlights on there. Im curious would it would look like in black with standard headlights.. I have kind of talked myself into this now.

Here you go...

The guy also put an 03 cobra motor and seats in.. Kinda makes you wonder why he didn't just buy an 03? Could have had a doner car though...

You'd be surprised how a good intercooler makes up for lost air. I had the stalker bumper on my turboed mustang. At the track the intercooler stayed cool to the touch. My buddies neon on the other hand has a so-so intercooler thats totally exposed by the front bumper and his was warm to the touch. Mine 9 psi to his 6 psi.

I don't have my condenser anymore, but I think they're should be plenty of room for everything in there. When I get home, I'll take some pics.

ABC also has this one, the 99-04 style saleen for the 94-98

read that, it'll help you decide.

Beat me to it Paul.

Considering that thread, stay the hell away from the 03 bumper unless you do a complete conversion like the guy in the mag. But then again, you'd be messing up the whold 95 essence by adding different head lights.

Doesnt look as bad as i thought it would...i would like to see it complete and at more angles personally.
