Default help finding a part

ok so heres the deal i live in arizona and there is a place called amp (all mustang Performance) here
so i called them looking for the front bumper cover off of a 93 cobra because in my opinion they look the best
but anyways the guy told me that it would be almost impossible to find it
so does anyone know a way that i can prove him wrong because i really want that bumper cover
if you have one or know where i can buy one ill pay shipping and everything but i dont want one of the kits
i want one that is one solid piece

They are basically the gt bumper iwth the cobra grille insert. I seen on ebay a while ago a guy selling a NOS cobra bumper and it was a gt bumper (box said cobra). I guess Ford used the cobra grille insert also. Just get a get bumper (5.0 resto has OE and Repros) then get a Cobra Grille insert. Put it in and do a good job at it and have it painted all at once and you'll never know the difference.

Cervini's makes a Stalker bumper that is a 1 peice bumper. I seen a 93 cobra at bristol a coupel weeks ago and it had a lip on the bottom of the grille like the insert.

I looked at some cobras on ebay and they had the lip on them. If you're good with bondo or fiberglass then you could fill in the gap and make it look smooth.
