hey guys i'm going to install cobra R bumper and hood on my 02 gt how much ground clearance will i have and can i still lower the car. also is the cowl hood functional. thanks.

 

how much clearance? not much

if you lowered it, I'd suggest no lower than 1.5 inches. Maybe even less to be safe. Even still, you'll hafta be super careful. I'd only get a cobra R bumper if I was goin for a complete R replica, and it'd sure not be a DD

 

so if i dont lower it i should be fine.

 

Most of the hood's are non functional.There are only a select few that are.

 

thanks guys think i'll put it on then decide if i should lower or not.

 

I'm considering the same bumper and I'm lowered too!!

 

I just recently put the '01 Cobra front on my car. I have H&R SS and a chin spoiler. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've cringed at the sound of my Chin spoiler being scraped. Plus I'm extra careful with it when pullin into parkin' lots. I'm talking about stoppin' trafic, cars blowing their horns for me to get the he!! outta the way already! LOL! I love it though! I guess till someone puts a brick through my window for being a jerk! LOL!

 

cervini's web site says only four inches of clearance so i'm going to try it and then decide hate to rack on speed bumps.

 

post some pic's

 

I have the cobra r front on my 95. Do not get the bumper if its your daily driver. I only drive my car 1 day of of the week 4 months of the year. I'm not even lowered a bit.

 

dude only get the cobra R bumper if you have a good amount of other mods. it just looks weird on a stock stang

 

i want the hood also dont like the wing. also looking at the stalker kit any opinons. i want something different but i also dont want it riced out.

 

IMO, The cobra r wing and bumper go hand in hand. They look awesome together, but when separate they just look weird

 

Cobra R bumper is very impractical on a daily driven car that is lowered. You will run into a lot of clearance and scraping issues. My buddy had one and he could barely go anywhere with it.

 

Check my sig. R front the car is on c springs, not a huge drop but decent. Driving it does get a bit more complicated but I don't scrape at all, then again I've been driving with it for 3 years now and am very used to driving this car. Just take practice and patience.
