Need Help on new front bumper??????

2002stang · February 15th, 2008, 03:21 PM

Well after my accident i got a 2000 Cobra R front bumper and was installing it and ran into a little problem! The place where the top of the bumper and the underside of the hood meet( Right between the lights), the mounting brackets are broken and i have NO IDEA what they are and how to go about finding some replacements. I really need help on this. anybody have any ideas or suggestions????

2002stang · February 15th, 2008, 03:29 PM

kinda hard to when this is your only car and i don't have a front, or rear bumper not to mention headlights!!!

Stang187 · February 15th, 2008, 03:30 PM

whats that have to do with asking them on what to do?

2002stang · February 15th, 2008, 03:32 PM

true just didn't think of calling them. Little brain fart on my part. but does anyone know if they even sell this part as a replacement or will i have to go to a salvage yard and find them??? Really don't want to pay out the ass for a ford original part if i can find the same thing somewhere else for less

If you need to buy the header panel get it off of ebay. I got one for $60 shipped and it looked/fit fine.

If you have a intact header panel, but just cant attatch the bumper then you can use a metel bracket and bolts. I had to do that with mine after my bodykit messed it up. I will post ya some pics of it later tonight.

hey that would be nice if you could post some pics cause i would rather just make the brackets if it is going to be a little cheaper
