Default front bumper question

Ok.. i want to replace this fiberglass hunk of junk with a cobra bumper.. i got a 2000 stang. I can get a new cobra bumper for $120 but it doesnt come with the metal plates that mount to the fenders. i no longer have these. where can i find them, and is there another way to attach them to the bumper besides riveting? also... anybody want a saleen front bumper?

I had the same issue finding the fender mounts, ended up going to the junkyard and ripping them off a v6, you can use a thin head bolt to mount them on but there is a chance the head of the bolt will rup the lip on the fender causing a gap between the bumper and the fender thats what happened to me, ended up just riviting them and the bumper fit perfect,.

okay. so did you use any special rivets? i think i saw somewhere there were some just for the bumper. so they was easy to rivet? im screwed cauuse there are no mustangs in any of the junkyards were i live. they're are some 94-98 models but no 99-04 models... ill try giving a dealership a call.
