cobra r replica good or bad?
 
I'm not planning on going all out...but I am going to get the steeda side exhaust soon...and I was looking at the cobra r front bumper and hood and I really like how they look. Is that a good idea? or would I look too much like a poser?

Lances03SVT 06-15-2005 02:13 PM

Personally I like that look but not the spoiler so I say go for it.

dannyb785 06-15-2005 02:24 PM

were you talking about the cobra r spoiler or my spoiler? I'm going to hold onto my spoiler for a good while bc i just got it. I was really just planning on getting the bumper/hood combo to compliment the side exhaust

MattJ 06-15-2005 04:33 PM

You are a poser regardless so you've got nothing to lose.
dannyb = ban!

ouch...beat at my own game

That cobra R bumper is like 2" from the ground...It looks nice...But I wouldnt get it on my car, as I wouldnt wanna always worry about getting it damaged on speed bumps or other things of that nature.......................Unless your car is NOT a daily driver...

And I am a big fan of the Cobra R to....

Lances03SVT 06-15-2005 07:04 PM

That guy I talked about on another post that hit something with his cobra R bumper and I could'nt remember what it was that messed it up so bad.Well I found out today.....it was a cat.It broke it big time and it was the urethane bumper.

Yeap its too low why worry.

MattJ 06-15-2005 09:44 PM

My buddy has a cobra R on his 03gt thats lowered with eibachs, and he doesnt like it because its too low. He scrapes alot.

I like the cobra r hood, but I think the bumper is too low and looks like crap! But thats just me!

Just think of the problems that bumper will cause. You cant go over speed bumps, railroad tracks may be a problem, you have to watch your parking so you dont crack your bumper by hitting a cement stopper. Ya it looks good but there is more CONs than PROs because in the end it will look like crap from being scraped and smashed up.

MachGT 06-16-2005 05:43 AM

my mach 1 chin spoiler will clear most curbs just barely and I've got pro-kit springs.

dannyb785 06-16-2005 07:51 AM

even with stock suspension, unlowered, it still would be a problem? :sad9:

i was really lookin forward to it


do yall have any other suggestions for another nice looking bumper to get? perhaps a roush or some other?

venom 06-16-2005 08:02 AM

If you are going with the baha look for mustangs then I guess it will be ok. Why dont you get the 03-04 cobra.

spike_africa 06-16-2005 08:38 AM

Just get a cowl hood or the cobra R hood leave the GT bumper on it. and get the side pipes. thats what i would do and i thik it would look and sound great.

Yea it will still be a problem if you drive your car alot.....

I was talking with a guy at the dragstrip. He has the R bumper with stock suspension. And he said its a pain. he was planning on lowering his car, but as it is right now it scrapes...and I did see the scapres on it .
Id say spend ya money on a diff front bumper or suttin...........

People like the roush bumper.......even the stalker front bumper looks nice...Imma get that one..

dannyb785 06-16-2005 11:48 AM


Why dont you get the 03-04 cobra.

MustangGTman 06-16-2005 11:56 AM

Roush...........................

MattJ 06-18-2005 01:07 AM

why dont you lower that damn thing first. It looks like you are gonna plow snow with it next to the other one...

Yep you really need to lower the 4x4 first.

USMCstang 06-18-2005 06:01 AM

Nother vote for lowering first...then get the cobra bumper. Just make sure it's installed a little straighter than you did, lol.

Dont lower you may be able to open a business with your stang.

stang00 06-18-2005 08:23 AM

with stock suspension it should be ok it says wit stock suspension its 4.5 inches off the ground so id think it could be that bad

NoKturnaL 06-18-2005 03:59 PM
