Still like the '01 bumper, I just don't think the two-toned paint job on that Mach did it any justice. The one you chopped before looked damn good.

yeah I really like my chop too, and if I was 100% that it looked like that in real life, I would def get it, but it IS just a chop...and it might not be acurate..

I really like the way your car looks in that chop to, but I saw a stock 99 cobra the other day and It looked like crap, but it might look totally different with a low drop and a chin spoiler. If I were you and still had my stock gt bumper I would but that on with a chin spoiler, and get a cowl hood and cobra side skirts along with about a 2" drop. Sorda like this just lower.

with all the pictures of the roush bumper being posted, im really starting to get drawn to that. but since you have the cobra rear, i would stick to somekind of cobra front. the chop you did was awesome looking. but im with you on that mach that was just posted. the bumper looked horrible on it. but that yellow mach you posted, it looked good on it. and the 03-04 you have now looks sweet. so i say somekind of cobra bumper.

I say keep the 03 bumper, it looks awesome IMO. I don't like how the 01 Cobra bumper has that odd looking slant like the GTs.

But I think the 03 bumper would look better with the 03 sideskirts. That way, it flows with the rest of the car more better. Look at an 03 Cobra from the side and you'll see what I mean.
