Either Cobra shaved or GT. I don't like the Saleen.

Bumper has to be shaved in order for it to work.

How much should this cost? What about paint?

Also, how should I sand it and shave the Cobra from it?

Let a shop handle the bumper modification. There is a product that actuslly will fill in the plastic without "popping" later on.

What do you guys think is a good price to pay for a cobra used rear bumper?

Ummm.................a GT bumper is the same as a V6, just has the cut outs, which can be done to your own bumper. I say keep the stock bumper, get the cut out kit, then get a Roush valence kit or something along those lines. I don't really like too many of the aftermarket rear bumpers for 99+, they all just look too big and out of place.

Yeah, Thats what I am thinking. I have a 03 cobra rear bumper, but I dont know if I want to spend the time and money to get it shaved and painted. I just put the chrome saleens on, so I was thinking of ideas for the bodykit. Whats a good idea for the front?

Should I do cobra front and rear?

Saleen front and rear?

Saleen front, gt rear?

Any other ideas?

Well the saleen front looks good, but the rear makes the car look like it's trying to sqeeze out a huge turd, I suggest what I had previously stated.
