The aftermarket bumper patterned after the 03 Cobra mounts to your existing hardware.
Some things to keep in mind:
1. Polyurethane is the preferred material. The cheaper fiberglass versions will shatter if you tap a speed bump or curb.
2. Make sure the body component is ready to paint, ie, fully cured and primered. Some companies sell their parts "raw", ie, uncured and unprimed.
3. When ordering, find out the cost of shipping. Truckline shipping is not cheap, and is often needed for body panels. Prices for shipping can vary a great deal depending on where the warehouse is located. I've seen cases where the supplier advertises a great price, but they are located a continent away from you, and the additional shipping means you would have been better off getting the piece at a slightly higher price from a company a few thousand miles closer.
4. Truckline shipping takes time. Figure about 2 weeks for delivery, and count yourself lucky if you get it that soon. Sure, it COULD come a lot faster, just don't believe delivery dates on truckline items - its DIFFERENT from regular UPS and Fedex.
Best of luck. This is NOT a complicated swap, and you'll be surprised how easy the covers come off and go back on. Don't forget those fog lights!
PS: Forgot to cover install...
5. Test fit the new part, and be aware that its often necessary to lengthen or slot the holes where you attach the cover to get it to fit correctly. Do NOT expect the cover to compensate for body damage under the plastic - it will ripple if you try to force it to wrap around dented substructure. Figure you will have to install and uninstall it at least twice (assuming you are doing the work - if the bodyshop is doing it, just be your usual critical customer and you will be fine).
