They are very hard to find. I've been trying to find one myself. Your best bet might be Craigslist, eBay or Mustang forums. Keep an eye out for someone who is parting out their Cobra and is willing to sell the bumper. Good luck!

Thanks to Patrick I actually found one! Unfortunately I can't exactly buy one right now.

Like gold, definitely the best way to describe it. Anyone know if the Cobra bumper is any lower then the V6/GT/Mach 1 bumper? I'd like to fit this with my chin spoiler but I'm already cutting it close with my driveway.

It does hang down a little lower, but the Mach 1 chin will fit fine. I suggest lining up the two back corners (in front of the front wheels) first, then do the corners (below the fog lights) then work your way around. You definitely need two, maybe three sets of hands to do it right! I lined up the front line first and there was about an inch gap on the rear corners, both sides. I've seen some that are perfectly lined up though. That said, I used a LMR chin, not an OEM Ford one, so the Ford one might be a tad longer...

Judging from the pictures the Cobra bumper looked quite a bit lower. Apparently the best way to get the chin spoiler to line up correctly is by using a heat gun to expand it. I think I would just pick up another one though from AM or LMR. It's killing me that I don't have the money to pick this up right now, I feel like I'll never come across this again!

Paypal bill me later with no interest for a year. If anything, have it in your garage for when your ready and just pay a little each month. Just an idea that beats charging if you don't have the full cash. We all been there.

The cobra bumper actually angles up, it doesn't sit lower.
EDIT:
GT bumper
Cobra bumper

Yep, I had the 03-04 on mine before putting the Mach chin on. I hated how it looked. I'd rather have the 1" gap on each side versus the rounded, tucked in look of the 03-04 chin.
