New Front Bumper

Mr.Bolt-on · Mar 31, 2009

Ok, I'm about to order a new front bumper tommorrow. I'm having a hard time deciding on which one to get. I like the stock gt and cobra bumpers just fine, but I was looking into getting a saleen bumper, or cervini bumper.

I have no clue, anybody have a favorite front bumper that they'd like to suggest... Also my car is green, with bullits, and I've already ordered a Stock 96-98 cobra hood... so what would flow good. I really like the saleen bumper... but I don't know... I'm truly up for buying any good looking bumper that anybody could suggest.

in my opinion, you would need the rear bumper and skirts if you wanted the front saleen. Just dosnt flow right if its just the front.

I bought the ABC Exclusive Cobra front bumper with the added lip for mine. After seeing Dalamar's, how could you not pick that one? There are several of them on here, still a pretty sharp looking part!!

Before I bought this one, I thought of a Stalker one from Cervinis. I'm just about 1 1/2 from ABC, so I saved a ton on shipping because I could go get it. That pushed me over the top on wanting this one! Can't wait 'til I get mine in Laser Red!!!
Justinschimdt's:

Stunner, I know of has this one. Matt94GT has it. When he got his, you could buy just that lip. Now they sell it as 1 part. That's all I know,

asfdgnakjgnajkg I think I'm sold on the ABC exclusive bumper... Now Why didn't I think of that one... Besides I agree that the Saleen bumper just would not flow with my car. That ABC bumper.... it just looks... AWESOME.

Anyways... am I going to need to buy cobra bumper brackets for that bumper???

that blue stang looks incredible...

I'd have to say Justins blue mustang, is one of the best looking blue SN95 mustangs... that I ever did see... The only blue one that I've seen thats rivals his is a 1998 SN95 cobra in my town... that looks just like his... only no ABC exclusive bumper.

cobra front bumper, i don't care much for any of the other types lol

Mr.Bolt-on · Apr 1, 2009

Cobra bumper for the win... As of now, no one in my family knows I'm getting the ABC exclusive bumper... My dad thinks I'm buying a saleen bumper... which he doesn't like...

Sorry... dont agree

Alls I can say to that yellow mustang is... WOW. Thats the reason I really like SN95 mustangs. The saleen bumper flows very well with the cobra hood, and the rest of the car. I'm torn... hmmm I'm about to order uhhh either the saleen or ABC exclusive cobra bumper... either way I'm ordering from the ABC exclusive company...

Not sure what you are meaning when you say brackets. The brackets that holds the bumper on? If so, I think the same ones work on the GT & the Cobra bumper. I really have no idea, just sounds correct. Are the brackets about the fog lights? If so, you will need new brackets for your lights. I spent way to much on getting my BOI smoked lights & brackets, don't listen to me about that.

I went with the ABC because I am sticking with my stock skirts & rear GT bumper. As soon as I can afford skirts, I'll buy ABC's. All I can afford when I took my car is was stock 98 skirts, though. The being close to ABC put that one over the top. I could go & pick it up!

Mr.Bolt-on · Apr 1, 2009

Well, I went outside and looked at my dads cobra, and it looks like it has the same mounting brackets... I think it's the fog lights that have different brackets.

Anyways, I think I'm set on the ABC exclusive cobra bumper... It just looks as good, if not better than the cervini bumper. Plus I can put foglights on it, where as foglights on a saleen bumper wouldn't look quite right.

Mr.Bolt-on · Apr 1, 2009

Ok, I just finished ordering the ABC cobra bumper.... I had to pay shipping and handling... oh well. I can't wait to see it, because I've never seen this type of bumper in person before.

eliyarbrough · Apr 1, 2009

You won't be upset with the one you ordered!! I know the fog light brackets are different, 100% sure. I ordered my smoked lenses @ like $83. They just came with the lights, no brackets. I looked around for just the brackets. I found them @ like CJPonyParts, or something like that. It was almost cheaper to buy the stock fogs with the brackets. They were $87. All together, I've got a lot in my lights! It's already paid for & it is what I wanted. It will all be OK.

I now can't find those I saw.

Good choice. Those ABC bumpers look great on low sitting Stang.

Mr.Bolt-on · Apr 1, 2009

Well, my gt didn't come with foglights, so I will have to wire the foglights in anyways... Now, alls I have to do is order the paint...

Dalamar · Apr 1, 2009

good move!!

I just got foggies for mine, need to install.

eliyarbrough · Apr 1, 2009

Are you sure yours didn't? I didn't think mine had them too. I bought some to add, found out it had them the whole time. It had like a black metal piece over them. This was back when I 1st bought my car. I was very new to driving, didn't know that much. Long story!

Mr.Bolt-on · Apr 5, 2009

My cobra hood came in the other day from late model restoration... and it looked like someone had stepped on it, so I immediately called the company and shipped it back. They said another hood was on the way. Also, I am still waiting on my ABC bumper... It should be in sometime next week...

eliyarbrough · Apr 5, 2009

Can't wait to see pics! It will have your car looking awesome!! I'll have those exact parts on mine!!

Sucks about your hood, but good they back there products!! When I was looking to buy from them they had a ford hood & their own brand. Man I wish I would have bought the one they made! I'm guessing that is what you will have.
