I was going to get this kit but instead might keep my stock bumper and fill the Mustang logo. I have to first see how the front bumper looks before I decided on a rear. Its the 99 and up saleen kit but for our year. The problem with you current rear bumper is that the hole cut out is too big for exhuast pipes, the whole thing looks too big. I would also see if you can move the rear wing back or get another one as it looks kind of small on the middle of the trunk.

03/04 Cobra rear. Shave the "cobra" lettering. Keep it simple.

Default wing

well i really do like the wing and i put it as far back as i could so that it would fit flush with the lines of my trunk.... but i do love the wingless look also i ran wingless for a few weeks but it was deffintly two different worlds with the wing now on. I love that back bumper you just posted and i believe i will get it but im gonna keep my black widow sideskirts because no matter what anyone says those babys look bad ***.

I have a question about your hood pins, are those the Ford ones? Where did you mount them in the engine bay? I have seen some remove the hood stoppers and put the pins there. I want to have an ideas when I do mine.

Those are summit racing and for 10 bucks they looks just as good as any other brand and there just as strong trust me. we drilled them in the hood stoppers its the best place for them and a very easy install.

I think you need to do something about that rear wing it just doesnt look right in the middle of the hood and the rear wheel looks too small. I like the one I have which is the Saleen s281 flows better with the curvy body style. The pillar scoops are hard to tell if they are not on the car. If you have the c pillars paint them with a thin layer of flat black and see how it looks. I think with a new rear bumper,wing and wider wheels it will totally change the stang. I have yet to see the S2 kit anywhere and I think it looks awesome. Im not sure if they make an 03 rear cobra bumper for 94-98 stangs. You may want to put back on the stock one and see how it looks. Sometimes less is more.
