99/01 Cobra bumper would be subtle and look sharp on there.

The thing with the R bumper is you need an aggressive hood and some visual weight on the rear as well to pull it off on a street car.

if it wasnt a vert and had the rest of the R bodywork on it id say leave it, theres a guy with a pretty built 4.6 black Cobra R clone around here and it looks really sharp.

but not with that hood, those headlights and tails, just go back to stock on everything

On a cobra they look awesome, on a regular GT i think it's trying too hard to be something it's not.

That's probably why the stock bumper is starting to seem like a much better choice than the cobra R bumper

i love the Cobra R bumper. but it's a vert and you need the wing to pull it off.

If you can, go with a 99/01 Cobra bumper. Best bumper for a non-Terminator new edge. The Terminator bumper doesn't look good on a GT without the other matching body parts.

I beg to differ.
