Can you identify this bumper/grill surround?

Very new to Mustangs, but considering getting a 2005-2009 and giving it the full retro look. I've been googling this for over an hour and haven't come up with anything.

This 2005-2009 has some kind of body kit, bumper, or grill surround that I think looks awesome with the retro headlights. You can see where the hood ends and it sticks out further than the hood normally does. Maybe it was custom but if not I'd enjoy figuring out what it is!

Thanks!

Is that the bumper cover that "Fang" used? I believe that they are out of business.

Looks like Cervini headlight/grill extension pieces to me. Google their B2 or B9 body kits. Although I don't see a hood extension piece...just a longer hood as part of the kit. Maybe this will point you in the right direction...

What Jim said. A company named Fang used to make them but they went under a while ago.

Glenn, thanks for the welcome to TMS!

And Dallas Mustang, yes, haha like I said in my OP, I thought that might be a custom bumper cover, but if anyone knew it would be cool! I really like that thing!

I didn't reload the page before replying the first time. Didn't see the other replies.

JimC and Ford20 thank you! Yeah a quickly google of Mustang Fang revealed more images of the same cover. Shame they went under I really like that thing, haha.

Yep that definitely looks like the Fang Performance Mystery 8 kit. They had one called the Mystery 7 too that looked like a 67 GT500.

When they went out of business they ended up selling their molds to Aeroform:

I tried searching for a link where you might be able to still get it, but I think they're all gone by this point.


Edit --- scratch that --- found out the molds changed hands again to Stang Thang Custom Mustangs

Facebook Post

(they say in the comments to that post "STANG THANG CUSTOM MUSTANGS Absolutely still making them and winning shows. I bought the molds from Aeroform , revamped the front end for a better fit and cleaner lines.")

Yeah...true it includes the hood too, but most hoods I've seen would only account for about 1/2 of that price Still, if you really want your mustang's front end to stand out from the stockers, the Roush's, and the Cobra conversions... that would do it.

Wow Cavero! Thanks for looking into this! Going to check it all out. Fun to know the history of it and learn it is still out there!
