Default Superstripe and recessed front license plate spot :-(

https://mustangforums.com/m_4117127/...tm.htm#4136189

that was my other thread.....but now i found out i need a new bumper without the front recessed spot to put the stripe from bumper to bumper. :-( where can I find a v6 screaming yellow one? (this is all if I can find a shop to put it on since they all dont want to tackle the superstripe on our cars because of the hood.)

Stupid question, but here goes....

Have you contacted Rob over at Baltimore Street Mods to see if he has the V6 bumper piece for the Superstripe? I find it hard to believe he would not........And it will certainly be a lot less expensive than a bumper......

I think the reason it comes with two front bumper pieces is so you can screw up one, and install the other. I would contact him and ask about a V6 front bumper piece. I know JimC did his own front bumper, and he has a V6. But I am not sure if he did a bumper swap or not....

Also, I cannot believe no shop will approach this stripe. I did my own, and I have never done stripes in my life. Easy? No, not really....Do-able? Yes, very.....Just cannot believe a stripe shop would not do it.......[:@][:@]

I might be able to help you out as I have a brand new, less than 2k miles screaming yellow front bumper, w/ lower grill, possibly upper grill and the foam bumper insert support to mate with the GT bumper. No scratches or scuffs.

yea that might be an option....one question was it hard to convert to that new front end you have? I really admire that look on your car.
