I dont think it would work. The '05 sits on a totally different frame that the '99-'04's do.

it wouldnt have a chance at lining up. 05 are wider than the 99-04's. that would be some job to get that bumper to fit. Not to mention a lot of $$$ to get that bumper to fit. I like the 03 cobra bumper w/ the round fog lights. If I had the $$ I would put that on stang, w/ also the hood cuz u need both, they are kinda like a set.

the reason for this change is because my frontend is wrecked and i can get a fiberglass 05 frontend. i know it will be some work, but i also know the 05 is only 1.3 inches wider and about 1inch taller that is all.

the real question is what do you guys think would it be cool or you think it would look like ***?
