Default terminator front bumper

well as some of you may know i ordered a terminator front bumper which should finally be here on monday. i was wondering what all i would need for the install and the fogs to be complete. i know i need to order the bezels which i actually already have second i know i need the actual fog lamps the only thing i was reading on another web site is that they are supposivly held in by brackets? would the brackets come with the fog lights or would i have to order those seperately from somewhere and if i did anyone know where i could get them from. and the last thing is as far as fitment for the new bumper i beleave read that someone said that the grill posts have to be moved back a 1/4 inch for everything to fit right is this true or is it something else, and if anyone has anyother information that would be helpful id appreciate it

I'd like to hear this as well. Also will the factory fog lights plug right into the '99 and newer plugs?

What is the grill post that needs to be moved back 1/4"? I havn't heard that one yet.

thats why u have to move the post back, unless you use a hood for a cobra then you dont move it.

i just did this actully.

you need the fog lights
fog light beseles
fog light mounts
03 cobra pig tails (wireing harness for the fog lights)
chin spoiler
bumper and thats it.

you do need to push the posts back and drill 2 new holes but i cant find the link that shows exactly what you need to do. it wsa very helpful. but good luck.

Do you have to mod the core support or anything for the posts to sit right?
Is it just as simple as placing the posts to where they look correct and then drill the new holes? Or isn't it that simple?

Would an aftermarket hood sit right on a termie bumper? Just wonderin if someone with a cobra changed hoods if it would have a problem

all you do is there are two screws on on top of each post. push the post as far back as it will go. and drill a hole where the hole on the post is. and thats all.

if you use a cobra hood it should work with out drilling new holes.
