what is good boards!? my name is sean and i just recently picked up my 2006 gt 5 speed. The other owner put a cervini c-series front bumper on the car. It looks pretty awesome, it is just not the look that i am going for. I really want a cobra front fascia but from the factory it costs about $2000 (head lights, radiator cover, fog lights, grilles, bumper). If anyone is parting out a cobra or swapping out their cobras front end and has some parts for me i would be EXTREMELY grateful! i would be willing to trade bumpers and the other listed parts for the cobra equivalent if that is an option. Please let me know if you guys hear of or have anything that might help me out.
Thanks!

Sean

 

It took me about two years to piece mine together lol. I bought everything through the forums / Craigslist / Tousley Ford and anywhere I could find the best deal.

I bought the front bumper w/splitter for $90 on Craigslist

Headlights / Foglights were $150 total from a very generous member on this forum

Grilles came from another forum, think I paid $125 for the top and bottom.

I bought all the brackets and foam absorber and pig tails from Tousley Ford. They have an amazing parts department.

I got all my lighting at Diode Dynamics, of course lol, and we installed our RGB multicolor angel eyes into the headlights and fog lights



It takes a really long time to find everything used, but I saved over $1,000 easily by being patient. Painting the front bumper was the most expensive

Thanks!

Beautiful car man. very nyce and clean haha. that green and black scheme is just sick haha. Thanks for the feed back. I think that im am going try to part it all together.

 

Give these guys a call. http://www.tascaparts.com/partlocato...?siteid=213668

They can save you a bunch and will know exactly what you need to convert to the GT500.

Really appreciate this post. It’s hard to sort the good from the bad sometimes, but I think you’ve nailed it!

 

Earl ! Were you able to keep your stock GT hood ? it's my understanding you also need to convert over to the GT500 hood as the stock hood will not fit properly with the GT500 front fascia, grille and radiator cover.. Thanks, Rocky..

 

05-09 Cobra front fascia? Good luck finding that. Ford hasn't made a Cobra since 2004.

 

I believe he meant to say 07-09 GT500 front fascia Bob

 

I don't have the GT500 front on mine but I think most of the guys that made the switch used some form of the GT500 hood. I don't think the stock GT hood will line up with the new front.

This guy said he used the GT hood in Post #7

Hey Steve ! I just read the link you posted, and it appears that you can use the stock GT hood when converting over to the GT500 front fascia..

However the guy also states in his post that you cannot use a GT500 hood on a regular GT that still has the stock front fascia, as it will not fit nor line up properly..

I also found this out from personal experience as I was looking into getting a GT500 hood from somebody I know to replace my stock GT hood until he informed me that after trying to install it on a friend's 08 GT, that it would not fit or line up correctly with his stock GT front fascia..

You would think if your able to convert over the GT500 front fascia with a stock GT hood, then you should be able to do the same when converting to a GT500 hood with the stock front fascia as well..

 

There is one example above. Diode Dynamics has a stock Gt hood on his car.

Now, can anyone post pics of what the gT500 hood looks like on a GT front end?

 

Jay ! A GT500 hood will not work on the stock GT front end.. You also have to convert over to the GT500 front end/front fascia in order to fit properly..

You can only use a stock GT hood on a GT500 front end/front fascia !
