Default Will these parts fit

Will a factory 2003 Cobra hood fit on a 2003 GT?

Will 15X10 wheels fit on a 2003 GT (rear)?

I would assume that both parts would but, I just wanted to make sure.

If any one has pics with a GT and the 2003 Cobra hood or with 15x10 wheels on the back can you post them as well?

as long as the backspacing is correct the wheels will fit and the hood will look like it doesnt fit but it does. There will just be a gap at the header mounting points.

I don't know where the header mounting points are. Can you explain it better?

My question about the wheels concerns the break rotor. So it will fit inside a 15" wheel?

stock 03 GT brakes work with that size, but you must have proper backspacing. The header mounting points are the two "horn" looking things that jut up beside the headlights. know what i mean now?

Are they the rubber stops? Either will will this cause alignment or spacing issues (for example wide gaps between the fenders and the hood)?

I am sorry but I am still not sure what you are talking about. My car is in the shop getting a new block and rotating assembly so I can not even check to see what you are talking about. I sure do miss my car.

The part of the bumper that comes up along side of the headlights towards the hood...there will be a gap at the top of those between those and the hood because the 03 cobras come up higher than the GT/V6

I think I understand now. You mean the part of the bumper that runs vertically in between the headlights. The posts that surround the grill. That part?

The gap will be where those pillars and the hood meet?
