Can anyone tell me the difference between these bumpers?

Orangester · June 19th, 2007, 12:37 AM

I want the 03-04 cobra style bumper and 50 resto has 2 styles.

OE and aftermarket. There's no visual difference whatsoever nor does it describe what each is made of. There is about a 170 dollar price gap between the OE bumper and the aftermarket one. Will there be fitment issues if i get the OE bumper for my 99 sixer or will the aftermarket one be made of crappy fiberglass? Help me out, here's the link.

This is an aftermarket Bumper

well i know ones aftermarket and ones OE but it doesnt say what either is made out of. Is aftermarket severely poorer quality or will the OE not fit my 99 v6 because it's specifically for 03-04 cobras

They will fit your car...But you will need to do some tweaking on the hood to make it fit right...

Its prolly a quality issue...I dont really know for certain...

Its def. the quality issue, OE bumper will take a few little hits and flex, the aftermarket one will crack
