cobra rear bumper questio
Actually, no mustang cobra comes with a snake in the front. Any cobra you see with the snake has been altered by its owner. Yeah I know I suck but I used to obsess over cobras, not that I still dont but all mustangs come with the "floating" running pony in the grill.

My 99 cobra does not say cobra on the rear, And so do many others I see, maybe the bumper is not the stock one? Maybe he had it replaced and did not care if it said cobra or mustang. The bumper does not make the car, It is the engine, and the better interior that makes a cobra a cobra. If it has a DOHC engine it is a cobra.

You guys are all missing the point. 94-95 Cobras DID NOT COME with cobra on the bumper. No matter what that is how Ford made them. Only in 96 did they update to the COBRA rear bumper. Also droptopsnake, Ford did do it again in 99. Your rear bumper should say MUSTANG. Only in '01 did they again go to the newer COBRA rear bumper. Sorry if I seem like an *** but I have researched this very thing before.<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">

You do not sound like an ***. You have researched this topic and are right... I looked into it also, and I found the same thing you did. I am curious, did you find out why Ford chose to redo it in 1996? I have no clue, and was wondering if anyone knew? Also are all cobra's SVT cobra's or are there cobra's and SVT cobra's?</P>
Thanks</P>

All Cobras are SVT. Someone told me that the reason that the 94-95 cobras dont have the "cool" hood and bumper is that Ford did not know if the Cobra would sell, and didnt plan to produce it in 96. So they just stuck to the cheap v6 bumper and the stock Mustang hood. When they noticed the sales on the Cobra was very good they decided to put the new hood and bumper on. Also real 94/95 cobras do NOT have a 3rd breaklight in the decklid its on the wing, the only good thing about these cobras is there 5 litres and the wing. Its a little different than the gt wing, and has a 3rd breaklight.<edited><editID>94CobraHoe</editID><editDate>37849.8517476852</editDate></edited>

No there is nothing embossed on the bumper or side either. The groundeffects look a little different, for lost the gt scoops right behind the front air dam and right before the rear wheel. Alot of people pull off Cobra clones in the hatchback years. The only year they were made was in 93 and they came in 3 colors, teal, black and red.

These cobras do come with the cool wing on the decklid though. There is no third break light on the trunklid also. Sorry I just wanted to clear things up. I have a 94 cobra and I love it, and yes it only says Mustang on the rear bumper but it doesnt bother me I know I have a somewhat rare cobra<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">
I'll confirm this.</P>
