Dude great video blows all the other guys away super chill and detailed tutorial Awesome

[@Thatlowdsg]

Thank you, the kind words & feedback are much appreciated! Hope this tutorial helps.

[@jeremyhuang13]

This was super helpful. I know you made this 3 years ago but definitely time saving for many of us! Thank you.

[@Thatlowdsg]

Hell it hardly feels like 3 years.. no problem thanks for watching! Glad it could help too.

[@mhs.5339]

I’m planing to put the same bumper on my 04 GT, but I’m not sure if can fit without mods

[@Thatlowdsg]

@@mhs.5339 fits stock hood + fenders, no modding needing

Haha I try my best!! Thank you

[@damightyquinn1393]

Thanks for the video, best on KZbin

[@ZFighters7]

Hey how did you get the hood to close brother

[@Thatlowdsg]

I shut it... All jokes aside if it doesn't close try removing the latch holder and tap it slightly lower then re tighten. It honestly might not line up 100% as you "technically" need cobra fenders but it doesn't look terrible. Hope this helps if not just shoot another message.

[@TheRealRomannnn]

Does anyone know where i can get two pins tk hold the headlights in place

[@Thatlowdsg]

Not sure if any companies sell them online but best bet is to go find a junkyard or part out any trim 99-04

[@ag3116]

Is there a link for the 03,04 cobra bumper I definitely need this one for my 99 cobra

[@Thatlowdsg]

lmr.com/item/LRS-8190JR/2003-04-Mustang-Cobra-Front-Bumper-Cover The same one bought and used in the video. Mine also came with the side bumper brackets ( I honestly do not know if that’s still included or not they’re typically $30-40) In my opinion the 99-01 Cobra bumper is way cooler in design and not on alot of mustangs like the 03-04 one is, either way man have fun and enjoy!

[@sal_gusto8587]

Does anyone know if a 03 base model mustang can have the cobra front bumper? looking to change but not sure if it’ll fit correctly.

[@Thatlowdsg]

Hood might not fully line up. Very slightly.

[@Its_juice17]

Bro that fork trick could’ve saved me so much time last time I was trynna take of my bumper 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@atm1513]

I just order that bumper and hardware kit. But didn't come with any brackets 😕 where can I find the brackets?

[@Thatlowdsg]

I bought my set off LMR, AM may have a set too.

[@usmnichols8636]

Hey man I liked and subbed may I know what rivets you used I’m about ready to order right now.

[@Thatlowdsg]

Thank you for the support and welcome to the channel! I used the rivets supplied with the hardware kit, heres the link. lmr.com/item/LRS-8190HDWK/1994-04-Mustang-Front-Bumper-Cover-Hardware-Kit !! Hope this helps. If not any rivets from a hardware store that can fit through the brackets holes will work!

[@cagemans8853]

Link to parts lol. You have part list but not links. Thanks dude. Great video

[@blokay_garage]

Okay I’ve now done two of these bumper swaps. My 2003 V6 has a different hood than my 2002 GT. I have to drill holes for my 2003 to fit but my 2002 fit just fine

[@Thatlowdsg]

The hood design on the v6 models must be slightly bulkier, I haven’t heard anything like that till now so good to know but yeah the GT hood fits good, people say you “need cobra fenders” but even if it’s slightly Un aligned you can’t tell till up close and it doesn’t bother me lol. Thanks for stopping by the page.

[@godssilentassassin4325]

Hey man, you were very in-depth with the video. Pretty humerus too. That’s good to do so we can see that’s it should be fun doing a project like this.

[@Thatlowdsg]

That’s right no need to stress out & have fun with it! That I have learned!

[@jamesbaumer6563]

Good video... Getting ready to do this on my son's 01 GT.. I have a 95 Trans Am that I did a 98-02 ws6 SLP ram air front end swap on too

[@Thatlowdsg]

Will have to look into the ram front end swap, since you only see A Ws6's tail lights.. Thank you and good luck with your GT!

[@carlmorgan5874]

Do you still have the passenger side mounting bracket. I got one with a bolt broken off. Thanks

[@Thatlowdsg]

Unfortunately I do not have it anymore

[@OperatorGhostShadow]

Prolly the most detail on the installation of a cobra bumper on KZbin but I do have a question, the rivet you use on the bracket are those the ones included with the kit?

[@Thatlowdsg]

Thank you thats good to hear!! And yeah the kit came with rivets and I used them. You could use other rivets though just fit them through and if they fit through then they’ll do the job!

[@OperatorGhostShadow]

Thatlowdsg ok thanks bro did you also paint the bumper yourself ?

[@Thatlowdsg]

I wish I knew how to paint, fortunately for me my buddy hooked me up and painted it for the low. I’m not sure how bodyshops would charge but id estimate $350-700 depending shop to shop.

[@Seantubes]

Man, you dude man excellent job on this video!!! You know if the bumper-fender brackets are standard? Or are they different for the cobra models?

[@Thatlowdsg]

Thank you!! The brackets are the same I would know cause I bought stock GT ones and my cobra bumper came with the exact same ones.. so yes they’re the same!

[@matthovanec9914]

What size rivets did u use?

[@jaystangs23]

The cobra bumper swap i did on a 99 fit perfectly with no drilling holes anywhere

[@Thatlowdsg]

Excellent i didn’t have to drill anything either but some folks end up doing it

[@ReedEvans-w9x]

Where did you buy it and how much

[@joseortega324]

Is it only a bumper cover ? And is this the same process to install any bumper cover ?

[@Thatlowdsg]

Bumper or bumper cover will work. This is universal to other bumper covers so yes.

[@2vgod460]

Does the hood and all line up properly? Or is it better to buy a cobra hood and fenders as well

[@Thatlowdsg]

I never had any issue with my hood lining up properly. May be slightly off but nothing noticeable if you take your time

[@xoxo239]

Does this work kn 02” mustangs?

[@Thatlowdsg]

Yes its for all 99-04 models

[@mustang8206]

[@Thatlowdsg]

Atleast you’ve got humor towards the situation 😂

[@israelgarcia9350]

Will it fit a 2002 mustang Gt with a cobra front bumper ?

[@Thatlowdsg]

Yes that year will fit! 99-04 will fit no issues.

Thatlowdsg thank you !!!

No problem! Any other questions feel free to stop in!

Can I cut the original grill Bessel ? Use the same one ? I have the Mach 1 delete ?

The stock and Mach 1 Will fit, you wouldn't need to do any cutting

Can you just use the old brackets if nothing is wrong with them or will i need to order new ones?

You can drill out the old rivets and rivet new ones in if the brackets still in good condition! So yes

All the mounting spots are the same for that bumper as well so yes in theory it should be the same process!

How much does it cost to get the bumper, bezels, brackets to mount on a gt, the fog lights and wires? (All of the stuff)

[@leomcadams1751]

Why didn’t we get a final view on how the bumper looks on the car? I was hoping you’d try to close the hood so we could see how it won’t work with a GT hood... without modifying it.

[@Thatlowdsg]

Hood lined up just fine. No modification needed. Didn’t film that part it is in future videos though.

[@leomcadams1751]

Thatlowdsg Maybe the LMR Cobra bumpers are shaped differently on top than the ebay bumpers.

[@arathbezark5010]

How much were the mounting brackets and where can I get them, been looking online says they are ranging from 200-400

[@Thatlowdsg]

Mine came with the bumper but I say on LMR they were anywhere from like 35-50 a piece? I couldn’t imagine them being 200-400 though thats crazy

Hey man I have the bumper but no brackets. All brackets I see online say 99-04 all years. Is there a way I can use the stock ones?

You could use the stock brackets off any 99-04, you’d just have to drill out the previous rivets and put new ones in!

[@cavsnation831]

Some people were saying you have to “drop the grill down” I saw it on a video with a guy that got a pre painted one, that’d be the one I’d want to go with. Every time he’d put his hood down it would hit. Do you know of this?

[@cavsnation831]

Also can you show how to wire the fog lights, if not that’s okay. Great vid btw very in depth

[@mustang8206]

Lmk if you figure it out. I watched the same video as you are talking about, but every one else said that the bumper lines up fine

[@Thatlowdsg]

The bumper indeed will line up fine, good as stock honestly.. however the hood may not line up properly. It may hang over, or not line up right. My hood kind of leans over, its not noticeable till up close. And about the fog lights video I will be having a led video out soon , could make a one specific for fog lights too.

[@Thatlowdsg]

It will not smash it, the oem hood doesn’t line up 100% of the way, but on my car I noticed it was unnoticeable untill you really good close and look. But it will not damage the bumper or hood. Have been driving it just fine with no damage to either!
