330CubeGt · Feb 1, 2011

Any one have any idea where one can be had for cheap.

Im not looking to buy right this secound but if i can make it work i want to buy a cobra bumper for the new project to try something a little different.

Cheapest ones i have found are $175.95 Shipped NEW.

On Average whats a used one go for?

Thats pretty cheap...I know they can be found cheaper on craigslist, but you'll just have to get lucky.

Yea, i searched my local CL and i got nothing...Im going to be on the look out for a while till i find a good deal or scrape up the cash to just buy the new one.

Try to find OEM one. I've had both OEM and aftermarket, and OEM is more flexible, more durable, and has a better fit usually.

I was thinking that, I was looking for a used one to be honest but with no luck i was starting to think new was my only option. Buddy just ordered a bumper similar off ebay and it was so stiff when the box flexed the bumper cracked

Ill wait until i find an OEM.

OEM are hard to come by.. once they are for sale they usually get snatched up pretty damn quickly..

Took me a few months to find an OEM one that wasnt damaged(didnt care about paint).. And i ended up picking up a prepped/primered OEM one for about 220.. then of course shipping raped me for 85 bucks lol..

Otherwise American Muscle sells aftermarket ones

Scope the forum classified real hard. I found the one that was on my old '95 on SVTP for $45! It was a little rough, but after a few hours of sanding and filling with urethane filler, it was good as new.

^ you can find a beat up one cheap...

I could get an OEM one that is cracked(but probably fixable) for 25 bucks from a guy i know..

but i dont know shit about body work so i went with a prepped one for more money..

Keep searching and you will find one.. best places seem to be corral and svtp

A dude traded me for my gt bumper.

Go here for OEM.

I would not bother with anything else. Cheaper is what cheap is...cheap!!! You will spend more getting the thing to fit right then if you bought OEM to begin with.

Who in thier right mind..

And yea.. that website is to ford stuff.. I went to my dealerships parts counter.. bitches wanted like 300 for a fender.. and 700 for the front bumper.. i laughed at them and walked away.. I work there so they can suck my left nutt..

Ide rather find a good used one than pay that kind of money... its one thing if it was an all original show car or some crap.. but shit..

but whats wierd is that site says.. 700 for the 96 bumper.. but 400 for the 94-98.. both are cobras... 400 is ok.. 700.. they can stab themselves

You can find them all day on eBay for that price does not mean the quality is up to oem specs

I'm searching for one all over too, The closest i found was an OEM one for 150 bucks...Looking for one on CL but havent found one yet! Also I found this one on Ebay, Kinda looks like a good deal. It has the bumper and fogs along with the brackets included.

if anyone can do body work.. i can get you a cracked one(in the front not on edges) for 25 bucks...

I bought mine for 300... took me a few months to find one.. the OEM ones on forums usually go for 200+ even kinda beat up and they will usully sell in a day... so u have to be quick

But hell i have the one that was on my car when i crashed it.. its truely not too bad.. but just where there is dmg i dont think it can be repaired.. so i wouldnt put that on anyone.
