Default Mother Nature Strikes again, Need Front Bumper

I need help with a new front bumper and any suggestions that you may have. I was heading to work this morning and I hit some ice in the road and I fish tailed slightly clockwise which caused my front right tire to drop off the road. I wouldn’t have any damage at all if it wasn’t for one of those pesky “speed zone ahead” signs. It disemboweled my front bumper and radiator when the sign snapped off. The car is not drivable at the time but it should be back on the road soon. Just waiting for the body shop to return to work on Monday. No injuries to report I was driving under 45 MPH and like everyone has stated before, this car is built like a tank.

I would like to keep my Pony Package grill but I am not aware of any front bumpers out there that will allow me to keep the grill. I would rather keep the original bumper style and keep my PP grill than to go with a GT and not keep the grill. So if you guys know of any front bumpers out there that I can order while the work is being done to save as much cost as possible and that will allow me to keep the grill please let me know.

as far as i know unless you buy the stock V6 bumper from somewhere all of them are designed for "gt" meaning new grill..IMO the pp is *** anyway but its up to you.


or if the damage is all low the 3D carbon chin spoiler may cover it up,thus not needing an entire new bumper..but without a pic of the damage that could just flat out not work

The bumper is split down the middle so it will need to be replaced. I'll have some pics up as soon as I get home.

If you want to go a little more aggresive, street scene makes thier gen 1 and gen 2 in both V6 and GT, Mustang Unlimited has the best price I have found so far.

Sorry to hear about it, but at least the Stang kept you safe.

Glad to hear that you are searching for the PP. No grill looks better than the stock PP.
