Cervini's Mach 1 bumper....stock or '03 cobra style

Ok guys, since there is so much interest in having an aftermarket company make us our own bumpers with Mach 1 stamped into them, post your votes here so we can get an accurate count.

Some have expressed interest in a stock looking bumper with Mach 1 and some have expressed interest in an '03 cobra bumper with Mach 1.
State your choice!!!

Cobra with Mach 1...also keep the same font that is used on both the stock and cobra bumpers. The cobra bumper adds some more black contrast to our cars.

I would rather have it like OEM instead of the cobra, to much flat black!

I said this before. The original bumper kinda' looks like a shark is grinnin' at you.

Use your imagination...

The stock makes the backend look fuller. The cobra bumper looks like something is missing.

Definately have to go with the mach 1 style font.

I personally would like to have an oem style bumper with MACH I in bold script, like MUSTANG and COBRA are. I do like the Mach I script, but the back of the car will look too busy with the factory emblem and then matching script on the bumper. Also, would look tougher in a simple bold script.

I'm all about a Cobra front, but not a Cobra back. The pictures above (thanks Corey) helped a lot. I like the black contrast, but it makes the rear end look tubby. IMO. :THUMBSUP:

Stock bumper with Mach 1 in the standard mustang font. I agree Mach 1 script like the emblem would be to busy.

Just a matter of personal taste!

If I were to do it, I'd prefer a stock looking bumper with the regular font (not Mach 1 style). MAYBE flat black in that shark grin, I dunno.

Either way, it'd be further down my list of enhancements.

Ya gotta go with the Stock bumper. I can hear all the snake owners crying already, You copied our bumper,thoes are for COBRA'S only, and I would have to agree wih them. Besides, I think our bumber looks cleaner anyway,one piece,neat and mean,,,,,IMHO!

Cobra

Definitely the Cobra has more modern looks than the Mach 1, it's like you're looking at a regular GT from afar

This might sound stupid, but are we sure the cobra bumper fits our cars?

The main difference I know of is that with the Cobra's IRS, the exhaust doesn't have to loop over a solid axle. So, I don't know if anyone has checked to make sure the tips exit in the same location. The holes look the same, but I'd hate to have Cervini's use a real cobra bumper for the template, then ship these out together and then we all find out at the same time that the exhaust cutouts are a half inch off or something from where our tips actually are. And I know that can be somewhat adjusted with an aftermarket exhaust but some of us still run the stock.

looking closer ...(in my mind) and the car.... keeping the same font and bumper and EVERYTHING but just changing MUSTANG to MACH 1 would look EXCELLENT!:THUMBSUP:

I posted this on the other thread..

If a bumper with a Mach 1 impression can't be made, is there a plain Mustang bumper with the dual exhaust cutout? If so, couldn't folks buy or trade for this bumper and have Barry make up sets of Mach 1 letters? Wouldn't be perfect but its a last resort alternative. Just a suggestion.
