You all are right, but if you look at the real cobra r it really don't have that much done to it. If I get the bumper put on the main thing I would bemissin out on is the wing and the hood. If you think about it, it really don't have anything that goes with the front bumper likeside skirts etc. So it wouldn't be all that bad

i'd say just put the damn thing on and do some other minor touch ups... but then again, dont hit a curb [:@]most people however are pretty good with judging. im sure you willl be fine... the fiberglasss should make you worry a little bit but i'd still put it on nonetheless.. or at least try to sell it for a big profit and if you dont get what ur looking for, keep it and put it on ur car

Call me crazy but I don't like the looks of the Cobra r bumper at all. It's way too ricey and dosn't even match the line of the car but hey that's just mho.

Well I just want to warn you, with it being fiberglass there is a high probability that it will crack and can get easily damaged. Now with that said, yes you will have to watch out for curves, but it's no better with a chin spoiler, either way, you need to learn how not to pull all the way up to a curve, it's not that hard at all, just park furthur back than you usually do.

my opinion on body kits and bumpers is that nothing is worth all the money you will spend to get it on... i ordered a body kit and it came in a week ago and i found out that it was made so $hitty that it would cost me about 3-4K to have it prepped/painted/installed (for it to look really good... about 1500-2000 to just do a half-assed job)... and if you getthatcobrafront bumper, you'regonna have to complement it with some skirts and a rear bumper.... unless you havea lot of money to throw around i would just keep your stock body and put your money into your engine
