They don't or can't have the letters Mustang on them anymore. No one makes a bumper like the original. They are all missing the letters.

The one I posted from Blue Oval looks like the factory piece including the Mustang print- says it's made from Ford tooling.

Regarding fitment, no disrespect to Paul but everyone over on the Mach 1 Registry swore up and down that my aftermarket Termi bumper would be junk and not fit correctly...... they were dead wrong. Plus I saved big $$ over buying the Ford bumper and having it painted locally.

Arin to answer your question, the factory bumper had a couple of little dings plus it had a front plate mounted from the previous owner, so I thought starting over would be a good idea..... now I'm surprised at how it totally changed the look of the car. This was a prepainted bumper from Ebay (The Online Body Shop) and I couldn't be happier.... like $360 painted and shipped. The fogs, bezels, and chin spoiler were all extra and purchased from Blue Oval.

good price I should get one for my vert. Looks killer Tom

Is there supposed to be a 'flap' in the fuel filler hole? I just noticed mine doesn't have one.

I think so, but I cant remember, I haven't put gas in it in over 2 weeks, haven't even driven it since the day I got laid off. Currently says 11 miles to empty, lol.

Speaking of gas, the best I seen it around here is around 2.49 for 87.
I was in Indiana last night and it was 2.17! wtf! The Honda got a nice fill up for 21 bucks, lol.
