a chin spoiler is an option.... i was really likeing the abcexclusive cobra with molded chin but the gf and how low i am makes that kinda a bad choice...
im leaving toward leaving all the parts alone and just painting.

My advice would be to forgo a chin spoiler.

The following is my personal opinion and may not (probably not) reflect that of this forum, its members, or the Mustang community in general...

I've never understood the popularity of the chin spoilers for SN95 cars. They're all pretty much based on the '03-'04 Mach 1 chin spoiler, itself an unfaithful and horrible homage to the chin spoiler available on the '69+ Mustangs. The '03-'04 piece is in no way evocative of its predecessor and just looks like a tacky piece of plastic that was thrown in as an afterthought because "well, if we're going to have comfort-weave seats, a shaker hood scoop and hood and rocker stripes, we have to have a chin spoiler, too".

My advice would be go with a Cobra front bumper.

I somewhat agree with above. Chin spoilers have their place on mustangs but for me they are hit and miss. You can never go wrong with a cobra bumper though. But none the less the car looks great especially the engine! Congrats! Cant wait to see where this build goes.

i can agree with both of you. pushrodsnake. if you ask me the chin spoiler is extremely hit or miss especially with how its mounted. the same car with the chin spoiler installed differentlly one will look a ton better than the next.
right now im leaning toward a cobra hood and cobra bumper. with either a bullit intake or trick flow track heat intake man.

 

[SVTstang96]

Nice! Im a huge fan of the cobra bumper and hood! I also like the cobra bumper with both of the cobra r hoods.

Sounds good man. Good to see more progress and updates!

 

[gnatsum95-3.8]

well when i left you guys last time i mentioned a bullitt intake
cross over mod and fore fuel rails!! please ignore the carbon i got a crazy idea even though it would have worked it i didnt have the material to finish it

then that sat around for a bit while i thought how i would hook an fitting to factory fuel lines
so i bought a cobra bumper

i searched ebay one day and found a little item ive been searching for years i could never find them but then

they are ruff but ill bring them back.
then one day i decided to work my exhaust and remove my back bumper

i thought my mustang world was done, i thought it was going to the junk yard the worst ...
after i had a melt down i looked into it and the rust really wasn't that bad i looked over the rest of the car and this is the only area that cancer has really formed. so to the junk yard i went and about two weeks time went from that

to that

to finished. all gaps welded ground seam sealed and primered

 

[DropTopPony]

Big fan of Bullitt intakes, just looks beefy.

Damn now I want to take my bumper off and check.

 

[gnatsum95-3.8]

ok so i got the bumper back on, remember those exhaust tips?

yes i did sand into my bumper and tucked them up into the body

s2k starter in the outlet
ditched the n02 and installed the bullitt intake

ohh did i forget to mention i bought a procharger??
fuel system upgrades

hired my buddy for some welding

hood pins, but didn't want them exposed

then made brackets for them to slide through

new radiator mounts the ones i made when i did the swap were temp and very ugly

you can see the old nuts tack welded on top of the core support the bracket used to sit flat there and bend down
then i sold my pos chevy sonic and brought another ford home : ) and she has a coyote under the hood!!!1

when
i did the tint, already have a 2.5 / 3 lift, front plate delete for it saving for wheels and tires.
also traded my old bike in for a new toy

any way back on track this brings us to were we are now. i just finished modding the front bumper support for the innercooler

parts i have laying around waiting for install

ill try and keep you guys more up to date
