Cobra Bumper

street591 · March 31st, 2008, 06:22 PM

i am looking to get a new cobra bumper and not sure of all what i need. i have a grill delete kit on mine now....would that fit the cobra one without the bottom piece just the bracket? and do they come with the foglights and/or wiring? wiring sites? parts needed to attach it?

the bumber doesn't come with the lights or wiring. I'm not sure is the grill delete kit will work... i think it will, not i'd dubble check.

but i'd dubble check*

(oops) lol

+1 the bumper will not come with foglights or the wiring harness. It won't come with anything but the bumper itself. I also don't think the delete kit will work, but I'm not sure

i have a cobra front bumper on mine and it adds a lot to the look. As stated it wont come with anything but the bumper. And i dont know why the grille delete wouldnt work. I have a billit grille on mine and it looks great. Though i need a new bumper because mine has been bottomed out many a time that it looks terrible. Only a couple times by me. And it isnt even lowered that much

its a direct swap, mach1 grill delete swaps no problem...

you can jimmy rig a wiring harness, when i get mine, if i do

ill show ya an easy way to do it

shadow5403 · April 1st, 2008, 01:04 PM

you dont really need to use the mach delete since the cobras already have the delete just without the black trim piece to cover the gap in teh v6/GT front bumper cover

thanks i thought the grill would work and i know a few places sell kits with foglights and switches but i just want a harness that goes into the parking lights let me know what you do and maybe pics if you got time

I have read somewhere that if you get a true cobra bumper (like ordering it from ford or buying a salvaged one that was actually on a cobra) there is 1 area that wont really fit. The hoods on cobras and GTs are different too (duh).... well this is where your problem lies. The ummm... "horns" of the bumper ... or the top part that comes up and trims the head lights and meets the hood.... well that head light "trim part is going to be like a quarter of an inch too high, thus not letting the hood close. I have read that in multiple places... though I have also read too that this problem can be easily fixed. They say all ya got to do is push these 2 parts farther back (towards the radiator) and screw it down.

I hope this wasnt too confusing for ya. Just something to look out for. Also I dont know if this applies to after market bumpers too.

ive never heard of that from any of the V8 guys that bought the FBC....maybe you should ask in their section and see what they say.

well the person that i was going to get my lights from keeps backing out, talk to WLJohnson i told him this idea, he had the lights and brackets already...

lemme go see if i can dig up the idea thread i made

Onemanzu · April 7th, 2008, 03:25 PM

Fog Lights

look through that

street591 · April 7th, 2008, 04:06 PM

ok thanks and since you know some about electrics i installed my white face gauges and tapped into the brown wire behind them but when i have all of the lights on it seems to be a bit hard to start the time right after i shut it off from having them all on? confusing but i hope u know what i mean.

street591 · April 7th, 2008, 04:06 PM

and what did that guy have on his battery terminals in the video?
