I have a 98 GT. A while back, I had an incident where I had to run off the road to avoid rear-ending a woman. Long story short, my front GT bumper is (and has been) cracked, also the front black piece (air dam?) is ripped off and it's time for a new bumper.

I was thinking about buying a Cobra bumper but I would like for you all to give me your take on putting a Cobra bumper on a 98 GT. If you think it's a bad idea and looks stupid, please give me some suggestions as to what bumper would look good? I don't like the GT bumper anyway, so I'm using that as self-justification to buy a new one. :D

Does anyone on this board have a Cobra bumper on a GT (my body style)? If so, would you please post some pics?

One more thing, where is a good place to buy front bumpers? Most inexpensive I guess is what I'm getting at.

:SNSign: discuss

I don't really know what year I want. I know between 95 and 98. What is the difference? I know that the 95 Cobra has an awesome spoiler IMO!

Here's Ryan's 96gt with the cobra front bumper. I think it looks awesome. Can't get a real good look at it from these shots. Hopefully he'll see this and chime in for you. He had some amazing pictures of it before but he took them off. Hope it helps a little.

Yeah that does look sick! What is that piece at the bottom of his bumper? Is it just the 'air dam' thing or is it part of the bumper? I do like that. So he has a 96 GT with a (what year??) Cobra bumper? I guess I'll see if he chimes in ..

It's a great idea, I don't care....


But you gotta get a different hood so the cobra bumper really shines

There is none, 94-98 cobra bumpers are the same, the 94-95 cobras came with the standard hood where the 96-98's got the aggressive hood

Go with the cobra bumper!! you'll be happy you did. I wanted to when I got my car re-done but I couldn't find one anywhere near. So I just went with the hood, maybe down the road I'll get one...

Anyways if you need a new bumper, the cobra bumper looks good on GT's so get one. Yeah , Do it... Do it...
 
Thanks everyone for responses! You all have helped me confirm my belief that they look awesome! I appreciate the links provided too.

Here's a OLD pic of my car but it's the only one on this hard drive ...

It's hard to see really (****ty pic) but the front bumper is FUBAR underneath. Keep pics coming if anyone else has em. :)

Also, where I photoshopped the blue arrow, is that part of the bumper? If so, I like that a lot!!!
