personal preference: don't mix and match kits on a mustang, that's for ricers. and as for the spider x9 hood...that sounds rice too. don't do it. just find a kit and stick to it, and if you do decide to mix and match PLEASE do it with all original mustang stuff. ex: cobra front, roush sides, saleen rear, mach hood. no rice ****. and i don't think ya have to get new headlights for the cobra front, i think it's just a different style they have, overall dimensions shouldn't have changed. not sure tho.

I don't notice a huge difference between a stock gt bumper. But I believe it's what you want. You won't need to replace the headlights.

what the hell is this eleanor **** your talking about? do you have an 05+? if so i like the eleanor style on it...but they dont make that **** for 99-04...or they shouldnt make it for that.

if u are a 99-04...i like the 03/04 cobra front and rear, along with side skirts. then a hood of your choice...i like the 00 cobra R hood as well as the 95 cobra R hood

ok so you have an 05...dont matter whether its a six or not...its a mustang.

i am not sure how the saleen rear would look with the cobra/gt500 front. but i am with you...i like the gt500/cobra front.

you ever seen one of those hondas with a nice fart cannon and body parts too low to the ground and unpainted body parts? thats the definition of ricer.

but there are milder versions of it...its just a term really used for it wont look all that good on a stang

In the future try to specify what model. I said I was assuming it was 99-04, since a majority of members drive that model. You never stated what it was, which made searching for exactly what you wanted difficult.

btw all that stuff I said above is personal preference. I just think it looks kinda ricey if it's all mixed and matched besides teh hood. that spider thing u were talkin' about sounds rice. but like tclark said, it's ur car!
