Well thats good that insurance will pay for it.

Post those pics up.

btw, why not go with a Termi hood to match that Termi bumper you were thinking of? I know you said you wanted to go back to stock but hey, there are a million+ stockers out there, only a hand full of 99-01 and 03/04 Cobra bumpers.

Im still on the fence about the exact bumper I go with. If it is the 03/04 front then I would have to get the heat extractor hood (or with the mach 1 hood and shaker setup) or my lady would kill me lol. I am seriously leaning towards getting stock replacements tho.....especially when all my insurance wants to do is put a stock v6/gt front on it.

Here are pics of damage

From what I can see, it looks like the only damage to the bumper cover is the mounting tabs are broke. If that is so, its a relative easy fix.

1) remove mounting plate from fender
2) line up broke tabs on plate to correct location on bumper
3) With plate and bumper clamped together, drill 3/8" holes thru the mounting plate and small lip on bumper that overlaps plate
4) rivet pieces together from the top side. Use washers on under side to prevent rivet from pulling thru.
