Default cobra r body kit

ok i am about to order my cobra r body kit for my 2004 mustang gt. the bumper in my eyes is the most important because i have been looking around and deciding for about 3 months whether or not i am going to do it. I just want to know if anyone has done this kit and what company they went threw for the bumper hood and wing. i was going to do cervinis bumper and maybe a kaenan hood and a trufiber wing from american muscle. i would buy there bumper from american muscle but it looks different from cervinis in the pics not sure if it is. any body help who has done this or personally seen the swap.

The american muscle looks different because the Duralast kit is different. The front is close but doesn't look right and the rear is just UGLY... Do it right and stick with Cervinis kit and wing.

The R isn't really a body kit. It's just a front cover, hood and wing.
In my opinion, the best way to replicate it is do what Ford did for the front bumper cover: 99/01 Cobra with a pin on splitter. Cervini's would be my #2 choice for the parts if they aren't all OEM Ford.

I think you need the roush side skirts with exhaust to finish up the look. Some lines to me just don't line up. Other than that this car looks sick.!
