Default GT500 nose?

my mom's 05 GT has a Cervinis body kit on it, or the Eleanor kit, with the sidepipes etc... the paint is horribly scraped, chipped and cracked due to the loving Pennsylvania potholes... the car's suspension is stock, and it still has the stock wheels...

how much is a GT500 front end conversion running $$ wise these days? do I just need the bumper and headlights? or do I need the front fenders and hood as well? does anyone have any links or sites to go to, for finding these parts?

my mom is complaining that the bodykit she has is too low, was professionally installed, imo, the GT500 nose would look killer on her mineral gray coupe.

thanks guys

this is from awhile back, but i want to say if you buy the parts from a place like tousley that sells 10% over their cost its around 1100 + shipping. Also have to have it painted too.

There are several guys on here that can give a better detailed reply, but the Cobra front end conversion entails many more parts besides the bumper cover. The cost for the conversion will far exceed repainting the bumper. Sad to hear your moms is so scraped up even with a stock suspension, I was actually contemplating this bumper, but with my car being lowered and California being a socialist zest pool who neglects our roads I can foresee myself in the same boat.

How much are you letting the kit go for if you do go with the conversion? and how bad condition is it in?

we wouldnt be getting rid of the whole kit, just replacing the front end with the GT500 parts, if we still feel like going that route come spring.... Ive seen the GT500 with the cervinis sidepipe kit... looks nice IMO......the car goes into hibernation in 1 month... and the urethane is fine as far as I can see, just the paint looks like crap...

if we get it repainted, a clear bra is going on it...

Total parts for the conversion is running about $1,600 bucks plus you will have to factor in paint and shipping. If it's what you want just give me a PM and I'll hook you up with a ford parts guy who carrys the full kit and knows his stuff. I can also walk you threw the installtion if you want to save some money by installing it yourselfs.
