Gt to Cobra bumper conversion
 

what am i looking at here?

has anyone done this before
im talking about a 99-01 cobra front bumper
what do i need to make this work??? does anyone know of a write up that they could send me to???

thanks

10 minutes and foglights. It's just a cover. You almost don't even need any tools.

o nice so theres no bracets or anything like that i will need its a clean switch??

yeah, it's simple. 2 nuts on each side behind the corner markers (up inside), and a couple push pin dealies and it comes right off. The 2 brackets are usually part of the bumper cover so there's no transferring them. It should be as simple as off and on.

Yep, take the old one off, put the new one on and you're done. Im running an 01 Cobra bumper.

do the foglight wireing line up fine? or do i have to get anything with that???

did you have the fog light bezels painted or kept black??

"03gtmustang" where and how much was ur hole setup ???
i found a guy thats selling a black 99-01 cobra wit fogs and fogbezels shipped from cali to my place in jersey for 270 but my ride is redfire so its prob gonna be another 200-300 to get it painted

check out www.virtualbodyshop.com. They usually have them painted to match your factory color in the 350 range minus the fogs. Foglight wiring lines right up.

I was looking at doing the same thing since I got hit in the front and need to replace the bumper anyways. Insurance is paying of course. Is there any fitment issues with the 03 cobra front bumper?

nope. can't say it many more ways... DIRECT BOLT ON.

whree do you guys get the 01 cobra front bumpers from?? is there a kit with lights and bezels?

I posted a link above. They also sell fogs and housings cheap. Or you can get one from (probably MT) just about any online stang parts hut. Virtual Body Shop does pre-painted parts. I have a bumper cover and 2 fenders from them and they're quite nice. They match your paint code and it always looks killer.

I got my stuff used.

witht he 03 cobra bumper there is a fitment issue...the hood... drill a hole about 2 cm more toward the car on each side of where the bumper mounts by the engine bay. and mount it using the new holes you drilled instead of the old location

Yep, dont believe the 03 cobra bumpers are direct bolt ons like the 99-01's.

Alright cool. I figured I might as well get the 03 cobra front if insurance is paying for it.

The 03 cobra bumper is a direct fit BUT, like Badfish said, there is a fitment issue where the hood meets it. Do like he said. Also, here's where I got mine...comes with everything you need, just needs paint....$515 shipped I think. http://www.blueovalindustries.com/pr...ealer=blueoval

i've never come across that issue. good tip.

$455 to be exact!!

That's before shipping....it's $533.41 shipped, which is not bad considering it comes with everything.

Yep still not to bad!!

yea so like i was sayin i can get the 99-01 cobra bumper with some scratches painted black wit fogs and bezels for 270 thats a hell of a deal am i right?

Yep!!

Sound's good to me!!
