Front bumper

BumbleBee · October 6th, 2009, 02:23 PM

Well i own a 2001 GT i want to remove the stock front bumper and install a cobra front bumper i wanted to know if that was possible? I heard that it wud not fit on it.

Lefty · October 6th, 2009, 02:28 PM

Yes, direct swap. You'll need the bezels and new foglights.

Zatrekaz · October 6th, 2009, 03:50 PM

The only thing that some people run into is the stock V6/GT hood sometimes has clearance problems. This can be fixed by raising the hood stops (rubber things on the left and right above your headlights under the hood) up some. Other than that it bolts right up.

I swaped mine

NorCalWhtHrse · October 6th, 2009, 03:52 PM

on my 01 i didnt have to adjust the hood at all. It was a perfect fit

Lefty · October 6th, 2009, 03:54 PM

Z, I've seen some people have to do that and others don't

An82Mustang · October 6th, 2009, 07:56 PM

instead of raising the hood up I modified the top of the bumper... smoothed it out...

Hey i really want one of these. Zat & Norcal how much did yours cost in total for the termi bumper, paint, bezels and fogs. To me it looks like you don have the bezels or the fogs Zat is this correct. Also the best place to get the it.

We both bought the bumper from an ebay seller named AirCorp1 I belive. It was about $325 for the bumper shipped and painted. I do have the bezels installed. Total cost projected:

Bumper w/ Paint: $325 (Ebay)
Bezels: $30 (Tousely Ford)
Fogs: $100 (Ebay)
Chin: $126 (Tousley Ford)

$581.00

And yes, I know that some people have to adjust the hood some don't. Thats why I said "some" in my forst post

dannyboy281 · October 7th, 2009, 04:42 PM

thanks guys ill probably just run it like that and with the bezels for a while till i can get the fogs and the chin when i do get it which will be probably at the end or jan of 2010 thanks alot i really appreciate it and did the paint come out good because to me your guys paint looks awesome just wanting to verify it. Also about how long did it take to come in and did that amount include shipping becaue it said it did.

NorCalWhtHrse · October 7th, 2009, 05:09 PM

i got my bumper in a week or so (business days)

he did a good job on my paint, but being freshly painted i can see a LITTLE difference in the colors...

no one else can ever tell the difference, but i can see it up close. its a good deal tho

dannyboy281 · October 7th, 2009, 10:57 PM

thanks Norcal i appreciate it i cant wait till i get it i want it more than 3.73 gears and did you install it on there your self do you have to do any modifications like drilling or does it just bolt right in place where the other was

Zatrekaz · October 8th, 2009, 02:07 AM

Here is the thread where I put mine on:

Zatrekaz's Cobra Front Bumper

It bolts right up. The only issue some people run into is they have to adjust the hood stops for clearance issues. Some do not tho. Its a simple threaded screw to adjust tho... takes like 5min.

I also made this today for someone, might help you:
