shoulda clued us in a little bit more on what you meant by will it fit....it will bolt on no problem, so yes it WILL fit

if you had asked about the bumper and hood touching etc, i would have told you that it depends on the car...some cars will have a gap, and others will be so close they actually rub the paint off the bumper...i know this because my car had a gap and i traded my bumper to my buddy and when he installed it, it rubbed so bad he had to slam his hood just to get it to close

Just get the whole thing. The front bumper is awesome. Well worth this investment. And the rear bumper will look awesome and should just fit right up. Just do it!!!

Are you serious? Part of the hood clearing (aka FITTING) with the new bumper is...part of the new bumper fitting the car, period.

he asked if the bumper will fit...yes it will fit, whether it has a gap or not wont be known until its installed...how are these the same things? youre an idiot, seriously. do you get off on following me from thread to thread to bitch about little nitpicky ****? he asked if the bumper will fit. yes it will fit, no matter what it WILL fit. gap would be determined by the car, hood choice, installation, etc...it has nothing to do with "will it fit"...cobra and gt are the same damn car aside from drivetrain and body accents...its not like the cobra has a different shape than the gt therefore it wont fit..its the same damn thing...so yes it will fit...not like theres not 3000 other members on this site with a cobra bumper on a gt that he could have looked at their pics or gods forbid searched a little bit

It will fit. Hood will hit the bumper at the header panel mounting points if you dont adjust the header panel mounting points back. That will solve all your problems.
