Which Bumper for Leedom?

Leedom's bumper got hit by a piece of shrapnel from a semi on the way to the track Saturday, so he might be able to get a Cobra style for free. Which one looks better on the Mach?

The 99/01 style:

The 03/04 style:

In general, I prefer the 03/04 style, but for the Mach I like the 99/01 better. Somehow with the shaker hood it looks meaner to me.

Good info Leedom:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will need the following:

99-01 Cobra bumper*
Foglight bezels (left and right sides)*
Foglights (2) (Can be bought at www.mustangsunlimited.com)
Mach 1 Lip (Can reuse stock one. I bought one new)
12-screws (#6 size 3/4" long) (Can be bought at Lowes, Home Depot, ect.)
*-Can be bought at a Ford or SVT dealership)

Installation, you will need basic hand tools, jackstands and another person. The swap is very easy, the only strange part is getting to the sides of the bumper under the headlights. You will have to remove the front end of the fender liner and then get up under the fender to get to 2 nuts on studs on each side. Ill take some pics for you after I get the stocker back.

Mustangs Unlimited has reproduction fog lights with the bezels for around $54.95 a pop with the brackets already mounted. I figured it was better to save the cash than be worried about perfect authenticity given that this setup never appeared on a factory Mach anyway.

No, I already did :judge:

Weird, when I voted 03/04 had only one vote. Electrons must be sleepy tonight.

I voted for the 99/01. I think it looks better with the Mach specifically :thumbs_up:

I think the 03-04 looks meaner IMO on the mach with the shaker hood
