Just a quick idea I had...

I took a Cobra and did a quick PS on it. It's something I've had in mind for a while, and suddenly I REALLY WANT TO DO IT. I think the finished product would look pretty sick, personally. Get a shaved bumper and paint the MACH1 on....opinions?

I've own a lot of things that I'm sure I could sell for decent money, especially a few Dale Earnhardt Sr., Richard Petty and Rick Carelli autographs...but I really want to think on it a bit more before I decide to actually sell any of those. I've also got a lot of other junk I don't use that I could sell to get the money to do this, but again I want to think on it a bit more.


Oh! and for reference, here is my bumper as it looks like now...

I think it would look cool but the color of that cobra is horrible

Are you going to just paint the letters on? Or like our bumpers?


I think it would look sick if you got it to match perfectly.

Yeah, it was silver....I just did a quick PS. Not a quality one by far. I noticed the color after I posted it on M1R, but it's not worth changing. The idea is the same.

I'd preferably want to carve the letters in like our bumpers now, but if that's too much work I could just either paint it on, or get some decals from a buddy of mine.

It's like a neon yellow makes my eyes hurt

I'll change it, hang on..

Looks like a lemon lime flavored laffy taffy

I was having a hard time loading it...but it should be here now.

looks the same


edit: nvm much better

Just got it to upload in my last post.

Sorry, Nick, but I'm not a fan. It looks like it says 'MACHI'. However, it is something different, but that's the only reason why I like it. Maybe if you actually painted the 'l' to look line a '1', it would be a little better to me.

IMHO i think it would look badass if the letters were carved in or whatever like stock, but would look ghey without the indents and just stickers or vinyl. maybe painted on would look cool but idk. all three options would look good from far away, but the actual letters in the bumper and some letters set in would look better up close

Yeah, I have no idea how I'd go about carving them in though.

Oh, just noticed that I put this in pictures. Mods feel free to move to SS&T

Just not sure how I feel about that. I think whats throwing me off is the fact that it's not just on word really. COBRA and MUSTANG fit cause there is no separation, but with MACH 1 you got the space between Mach and 1. See what it looks like with just MACH. Not sure how it would look those just being painted on. Might look kinda cheesy.

My ideal rear bumper would be the 03 cobra bumper, shaved letters and no cutouts for the exhaust. Just have that plastic piece on the bottom of the bumper go all the way across.

dude, i think it will look incredibly good on your car. unique. shop this around, because this is not something that can be really done over.

If you could carve the letters in I think itd look pretty badass

you should take your dealer sticker off.

as for the bumper im not feeling it.

I think it could look pretty good.

When it get's warm enough, I'll do it. I've got the touch-up paint, I'm just waiting for a good day to do it. Today it's like 54 degrees, and windy....Mondays forecast here is in the 60s, so maybe then. The dealership plate it coming off, too...I just want to do it all at once.

Its been pretty damn nice out lately

But windy. I don't want dust and other random crap flying into wet paint.

Yeah true. But I say definitely go for the Mach 1 idea. Its a pretty simple idea, yet pretty unique. If youre not the only one with "Mach 1" on the bumper then youll definitely be one in a few.

For sure. Not really digging the "MACH 1" on bumper I've got now. I just don't like the factory bumper to begin with. The Cobra one just looks mean.

I LOVE THIS CHOP!!!

If it looked like this then I would definately try to find a way to do it.

Heres a Mach 1 that I saw at a show awhile back, ugly ass body kit on it though....

Is that really a mach 1?

Jesus :(

I think I puked a little in my mouth when I saw that bumper. Why would you take a picture of such wrong-ness (other than the "MACH 1" on the back)? But yeah...I think it'd look sick as hell on a shaved Cobra bumper.

Holy hell
