Default 1995 Cobra. Where is a great place to get a body kit (online) for my 1995 Cobra SVT?

Hello All!
I am trying to deck out my car. Exhaust work done. Hooker headers, X pipe, Magnaflow, etc. Now I have it at my body shop. My mechanic has done great straightening out the dings, dents, etc. The body Kit I ordered from Extreme Dimensions came in. Great! Right? Wrong.
The Spyder 3 hood is 1/2 inch too short (front to back). The Blitz front bumper is 2 (TWO) inches too wide (side to side). The Vader rear bumper is too narrow (front to back). The Vader side skirts are almost 1 (ONE) inch too short (length).
But Hey! The wing will work. YAY. I Guess.
XD? Won't take it back.
So. My question is...has anyone had a "good" experience with any polyurethane body kits out there on the net? If so...where please!
I am seriously redlining.....the frustration meter!
Pics of my $1248 paper weights are posted for your viewing pleasure!

Dude you just spent $1248 you could have gotten your self a nice det of aluminum heads!!!!
That sucks.

Just my two cents, that wing smells like a fresh batch of rice.

Dude why are body kitting a Cobra? If you kit it everyone's gonna think it's a GT. Those parts sound like rice parts..... you're not ricing a Cobra are you? Sorry I don't mean to sound harsh, but I feel it's just wrong to put Lancer, Civic parts on a stang.

Agreed. Ricing a Cobra equals a big no no. Any mustang that is riced out makes me sick.

While I certainly don't want to make anyone "sick"...personal choice is just that...personal. The question, however, remains. Has anyone had a "good" experience with any polyurethane body kits out there on the net? I don't care if it is stock...or "rice". I need to replace the friggin body kit that is on the car. Kapeesh?

You're right it is personal choice and if you do it there is nothing anyone can do on here to stop you. But most people on here aren't going to agree with you.

Here is some kits you could get that will set your stang apart from others without ricing it. No one on here will fault you for trying to make urs stand apart. But don't make it stand apart by making it look like a Honda. Best of luck in whatever you choose

Also cervini's is definitely a good place, if you like them you can also order from saleen or roush directly. You can also find a few parts from americanmuscle.com That's a great website and they get you your parts fast and its free shipping.

There's alot of advantages!
A huge weight differance for aluminum vs cast iron.
Our gt-40 heads weight about 50 pounds a head the aluminum weight about 25 pounds a head.

Second they allow the motor to breath a hell of alot better then the gt-40's. Even if you port the gt-40 you'll still wont see the HP increase of the aluminum heads. Along with a new cam and intake you'll be close to the 300 hp mark.!!!
