Question 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?

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

You are a poser regardless so you've got nothing to lose.

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....

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.

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.

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..

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