I'm not used to seeing that kind of pricing, w/out a "mugen" badge riveted on the front of it

Don't hate because I have torque...

Would you feel better if I posted a picture of my S2000 below the Cobra?

It took me awhile to get used to but I loved it now! Yes, I know many people think its ugly, but just remember... Not everybody likes the look of any modified import. Its sad but true.

But yeah, thats laser red, AWESOME color in person.

I think that generation Mustang is hot. Is there anything particularly special about that bumper? Is it normal plastic or whatever bumper material is? I mean it is a nice looking bumper just wondering why it costs so much

wow, talk about sticker shock.

honestly, i think that bumper is a little busy. the lines don't really flow and the general design (driving lights) clashes with the hard and angular lines of the mustang body. but if you like it, go for it.

The extra set of lights in between the lower foglights and the headlights are specifically designed for the outback. They're BLINDINGLY bright and look pimp . There was only probibly 400 Cobras made this style because we didn't send many out to Australia due to the fact it costs so damn much to convert them to RHD.

i dont think those bumper fogs flow at all...... get an 03-04 cobra bumper with fogs...those look good...but they look even better with brake ducts where the fogs go

Oh so that's Australian Spec bumper? I don't really like the extra set of lights. Looks a little too busy for my taste. $4000.00 is definately the deciding factor.

I can already point out three things I hate about this car.

HP Twin Turbo Kit
Clear corners
Saleen body peices

Also, I really don't like the 03 Cobra front bumper. I'm not going to get the bumper I pictured due to the price, but if one ever came along for a half cheap price I would hit it.

My taste in these things is defined as awkward to say the least.

well sorry you didn't like it. the car is a saleen so it came with those body pieces, and i honestly think it looks good, and right. with that color scheme, clear corners look good also.. and the hp turbo kit is making some good power, so no complaints about that either..
