Are they starting to make it difficult to get parts, or is it a supply chain issue where they're trying to fill the production supply before they can feed them into repair parts?

If you order the CS bumper through regular channels (like I am with the stock bumper), it costs WAY more than if you were to order it via Genuine Accessories. Only problem with this way is it takes 7-10 days to get the part. Way too long in my situation.

There is a thread in the OEM-Parts forum in the Marketplace. Kevin Casey started it about the GT/CS and Shelby conversions not being easy anymore

The GT/CS bumper is $273 + painting costs, whereas the stock bumper is $146 + painting costs. I'd go for the GT/CS bumper, but I'm confused about this ordering process. I thought it was just a matter of going to my local dealer and asking for the part #, the 25% supplier discount, and schedule it to be painted in the body shop.

I don't have a left muffler, and I have a show I HAVE TO DO (its for an air base thats closing. Money generated goes to the soldiers and their families). That is why I need the car done when I need it done by.

I buy my parts from Yocum Ford (yes, the one in PA!) because they offer, by far, the cheapest prices for Ford parts on the internet.

I ordered my GT/CS rear fascia through my dealership for $355 with free shipping. I think painting was $150 or less. I love the look of the GT/CS rear fascia, now only if someone around here can align my exhaust up correctly. GRRRRRRRRRR

Ya know, I've always wondered that. The stock GT fascia looks so seamless, I cant help think its the whole bumper you;d replace. (and I've test drove them, just never paid mind to that little detail)
I could be wrong.

The GT/CS is a whole fascia replacement...not a piece you add to an existing (stock) GT bumper. Street Scene makes a rear fascia lip that can be added to either a stock v6 or GT rear fascia that gives the rear a diffuser look.

Jeff,
Was out of the country from 4/7 thru 4/14. Missed all the 'excitement'. Glad you're OK. I think I speak for everyone when I say we know how ****ed you were after the impact. But these body shops today... they're the best (the top ones, anyway). Sure, nobody wants to get hit, but once you are, it's nice to know there are good shops out there who can get you back to 100%.
Oh how you must have struggled with that CS bumper decision. Hooboy! Catch up with ya later...

Use a Take-off Bumper and makes some green
Ask your body shop to bid with a new bumper and then buy a pre-painted blue bumper from www.newtakeoff.com and save a bunch of money. You can buy a vista blue GT bumper (or any other color for that matter) for $199.00. List price is $499 plus painting. Have the body shop bid the full price for the repair and then spiff you or trade for the difference. You will be getting a factory painted bumper and won't have the soft paint problems repainted bumbers have.
Good luck
Good luck
