Cobra front bumper, or Mach1 Chin spolier?


For my next project, I want to do one of two things:
  1. 03/04 Cobra Front Bumper
  2. Mach 1 Chin Spolier & Repainting my current bumper

With both of these, I plan on buying a new hood later on. Cervini's 1995 Style Cobra R Hood (99-04) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! Not that exact one, cause thats pricey, but that same design. Which bumper would tie in better with that you think?

Which do you think would go better with my car? You can see pics of my car at this link: Mach1 Delete, Headlights, and Rear cutout installed

If you are going to do the rest of the Cobra body parts (hood, rear bumper, trunk lid ect. ) then
I would do that.

but if just going to keep rest GT, then I would go with Mach1 chin spoiler.

The Cobra parts look good all together, but just the front bumper on
a GT looks kinda ricer to me.

Well, considering I have a V6 and not even a GT, it would be double ricer in your book eh? hehe.

Im leaning to the chin spolier, and lowering. I just like the stocky look on the front that a Cobra bumper gives. Any more suggestions or thoughts?

I think the are both good choices. I love the cobra kits, but there is something about the mach 1 chin spoiler that is just flat out slick. You can't go wrong either way. There are so many possibilities with your body style.

I think im gonna go with the Chin Spolier, Cowl Hood, and lower it.

I already have a Mach1 Grill delete, blackout panel in the back, and lookin into a Black Spolier, so I think i should continue with that theme. Now I just need a better engine to match the mach1 look

Thanks for the input everyone, hopefully I will have the Chin Spolier in about 3 weeks.

That's were I'm planning on getting mine. I've always had a good experience when I order through them, and plus shipping is free. Can't beat that. Post pics whenever you get the spoiler and the hood put on, it's the same set up that I'm thinking about going with.

I was originally leaning towards a chin spoiler...and then the 03/04 bumper. I've kind of settled on the 01 bumper, I love the look especially seeing you can still add the chin spoiler to it if you would like.

Caution, if you get the chin spoiler from AM, it comes folded. not sure if that bothers you or not.

Weems! hahaha, every time I see your sig its pure sex!

I could pay $65 for them to ship it unrolled, but they say you can leave it out overnight and it shapes back to the original shape.

I like the cobra bumpers, but I LOVE Mach1 Mustangs. Since my car is red, Im gonna go for a Mach1 Replica I belive. Once im done with the body im movin on to bolt on engine mods. Hard to talk my parents into letting me do a turbo/SS setup while im still goin to college

So, Got the grill, Chin Spolier, Rear black out... next part? Black Spolier?

and ya Weems, i love your car man... ever since I say it the first time. I belive it was you I asked about what you did for lowering once.

i agree with this thinking. though i love the cobra front bumper, unless your doing the whole package, i think it will look totally out of place.

I am going for the Mach1 look, so I plan to go with the Chin Spolier. Right now im working on funds for another non-car related project tho so it's going to be awhile.

I hope to have my car to the point that people have to ask if its a Mach1 or a reg V6. Then im gonna start beefing up the motor hehe.
