'01 Cobra bumper

Well Instead of buying on 03 cobra bumper again, I was considering getting an 01...I think it looks mean, and it doesnt have that huge gap for the 03/04 cobra heat exchanger, which just shows the radiator on our cars...I did this chop, what do you think? (note: I also chopped some c-pillars on it, because I'm going to get some)

They are ok. I like the one you have MUCH better. But still the older one is not a bad choice.

redfire04 04-13-2006 09:58 PM

i don't know, i think i'm a fan of the 01.

...and it looks like you chopped the louvered style c pillars, those are awesome i've been debating those for a while now. they are kinda pricy though.

yeah i love those c-pillars...and this was my inspiration for the 01 bumper

redfire04 04-13-2006 10:03 PM

yeah its the mach chin spoiler...i think it fits the 01 cobras perfectly

redfire04 04-13-2006 10:05 PM

thats cool, you definately need one of those if you go with the 01!

Icefreezen 04-13-2006 10:07 PM

I like it better with the 01......Gives you a nice sleek look without the huge cobra look....your right about that gap issue

3V2000GT 04-13-2006 11:04 PM

there is nothing better thatn the 99-01 cobra bumper much better, if i had an 03 cobra i would want to switch the bumper, go for it

Lances03SVT 04-14-2006 02:10 AM

Yea go for it!!

If you can find those C pillars instock somewhere let me know :)

Eh, I dunno Jon, I just love the 03 spoiler, but at the same time, the 01 spoiler looks so great. One advantage to the 01 is that you can get one PAINTED from www.bumpers.com for like 280 bucks, dont know about fog lights, but its at least the bumper.

jeredan2003 04-14-2006 06:30 AM

stick with the 03 cobra bumper it looks MUCH better IMO. Well I guess if you had the 01 bumper then you would have to put the 01 bumper on the rear too....

Lances03SVT 04-14-2006 06:35 AM

Looking at it now I don't see that big a difference between that and the GT bumper!!

foncarelli 04-14-2006 06:38 AM

Less bulkier than the 03 bumper. I like the 01.

madmatt 04-14-2006 06:58 AM

...not to mention, the fog lights actually WORK.

01GTBlown 04-14-2006 07:22 AM

I like the 03

FritoBandito 04-14-2006 07:29 AM

Just get a maverick grill guard. I think you'll benefit more from it.:)

CCM 04-14-2006 08:13 AM

If you're gonna stick with your GT hood, then get the 01. But if I were you I'd get a new 03 bumper and then a better hood, like the Steeda cowl.

I agree, the 03 would look sweet with a cowl. The only way i like the 03 on a gt is if you match the side skirts and spoiler up with it

Ditto. I think it was in the "Baddest Mach Ever" thread. The DSG Mach with the '03 bumper had the inserts and it looked pretty damn sweet IMO.
That was in pictures though, may look diff. in person.

Badfish- yours isn't too noticible but if it bothers you then hey, it's your car. The 01 bumper looks mean too but to me not enough different than stock GT to change. inserts and call it a day! :banana:

B-rett 04-14-2006 09:35 AM

ummm y are u gettin a new bumper this time?

B-rett 04-14-2006 09:39 AM

I think the 01 cobra bumper looks WAAYY better with the stock GT hood with teh scoop. Gives it that mean look. The 03/04 cobra bumper is just too rounded and has that hole like you said. It Looks funny without a hood to go with it. Here's mike hourns car with the cowl, and my buds with the stock GT hood.

+1 i agree also!!

73coupe99v6 04-14-2006 12:00 PM

i honesly like the 99-01 cobra bumpers. IMO i think they look meaner than the 03-04's.

dannyb785 04-14-2006 12:08 PM
