If it were my car and I had the means, I would definitely get both replaced or repaired. It doesn't sit "straight," if you will. Either way, welcome to MM

Thats a shame if u get rid of it. The 99, 01 cobra front bumper is neat imo and rare. Id keep it and try to fix the car first

I don't think that bumper is within reason of fixing, to be honest.

Idk it kinda looks like a chunk is missing and someone pulled it together. The car does have a salvage title, its not going to be perfect

Looks like the car was hit and the area on left bottom of fog bezel was broke and they pulled it in and plastic welded it and now its all ****ed. Here's what a 99/01 should look like:

i'd say leave it. a good body shop could make it look more presentable. it will probably never look new but it's still a rare bumper and i wouldnt discard it without trying out some body work.

yea it was defiantly hit on that side im trying to find a local welder to make me a support braccket to go from the bumper on the drivers side to a solid spot to pull that side up se and get a new hood, the hood throws the front off a lot. it rubs the headlight on the drivers side and fits good on passengers side

Just saying its kinda hard to see body parts with an all black car with shadows -_- but I say get a new bumper your gonna spend more fixing it than buying a new one and getting it painted and maybe are the little hood bumpers loosened to much because I know that can make it lean not sure of how bad

And IMO I'd rather truly fix the problem than rig it because that way it looks better for if you sale the car and prevents any rigging done to break again in the future
