Unhappy Rain+Turn = Accident

Hi guys...so bad news, I got in my first car accident today . Everyone is alright luckily but there is a decent amount of body damage to my car. I am looking for a new front bumper now and was wondering what everyone likes? I like the Cobra R bumper, but was wondering if it hangs low? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks so much guys.

LOL, if your car is lowered and a daily driver, I' say don't do it. Mines not even a daily driver, and the Cobra R dam only goes on for shows. And it's still all scraped up on the bottom. I'm actually looking for 1/16" aluminum plate to go on the bottom to help it last longer. You could go with just the 1999-2001, or 2003-2004 Cobra bumper. Or a Saleen bumper?

Sorry to hear that. The Saleen bumper would work great. The Cobra R may be to low.

Ya I figured the Cobra R would hang too low. Does anyone know where I could find a Roush Stage 3 online for just the front bumper? I know the body kit is on AM, but I just need the front? Thanks for all of the help guys!

Sorry to hear about your accident. A Cobra R front is def low for a DD, I've seen some mustangs with those fronts and I've always noticed scraps and chips on the front lip. Stage 3 Motorsports carry Roush and Saleen fronts.

Stage 3 Motorsports 1994-04 Mustang Front Bumpers

It's expensive but works well.

I don't know if this is a Stage 3 but it's a Roush of some type.

Wow! $489..... you can buy an 03-04 Cobra bumper from Ford for less than that!
