any body have experience with these eBay body parts? I need a new front bumper for my 94 cobra and I can get one shipped for 250ish, usually way better price than one I can get used/strip then repaint...any thoughts?
I think Tony ordered a reproduction bumper and wasn't all that happy with the fit. I know my reproduction fenders were not all that great of a fit and if I did it again I would be hitting the junk yards as the 20yr old stuff seems better then the new stuff to me.
I've had both reproduction and oem Cobra bumper on my GT. The difference in fitment and material quality is pretty large. OEM bumper is made out of soft and flexible polyurethane, which ensures correct fit and proper lines. Reproduction bumper was made out of stiff ABS plastic, which is too rigid for great fitment and shatters on impact. I'm very happy with OEM piece, was less so with aftermarket. I didn't think there would be any difference until I actually used both. OEM without any doubt over anything else for body parts.
Capa certified is a minimum. What that means is it's certified to fit properly (mounting holes in the correct locations) but that doesn't always mean quality. With aftermarket bumper covers you don't really know what you're getting until it's in front of you. Any place worth a shit will take it back and give you another if you're not happy.Found a new one on eBay that's CAPA certified, I'm thinking that would be ok?
only way to remove rivits is to drill. Not sure why you want to remove it that way though.
im referring to the rivots on the header panel. dont you have to drill those out?
