Agreed 100%.When i sent in my '03 Cobra skirts to get painted before Xmas,i gave them one of my stock skirts so they could match the '03 Cobra skirts perfectly,and they did,but once i got them on my GT,you can see how different they are.The stockers have a step,so i could never see the difference,the '03 Cobra's go straight down with no edge,and i can see the difference now!
Even my side scoops don't match,rear facia don't match,and that is all factory LOL!

Thanks again for the help guys,

Here is the low down.... I will ask my neighbour if he will do it.... what he has done is start a little part time business in his garage cause he is a Firefighter and on 24hour shifts. So his business is fixing... plastic welding and repainting street bike parts... I am sure he will be able to do the bumper in small paint booth, I can get the paint from Ford (where i used to work) and it should match.... i will have to address the stone chips on the hood, but it would be nice to get a new one... maybe paint it a different colour.... who knows...

Thank you once again guys, oh and my car is Black on Black on Black on Black!

I love it, black, black, black, wouldnt have it any other way. Oh ya, black allways matches. Hardest color to keep thoe, that i would say is the only downfall to that color.
