Question: Grill Filler/Screen for 03 Cobra Bumper Cover? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Devery · 03-30-2007, 05:31 PM

Question: Does anyone know where I can find a clean grill insert for the lower opening on an 03 Cobra front bumper? I painted the lower radiator frame flat black, but still would like to make this area a little less noticeable. I found a pic of a "MACh 1" logo stenciled on a black screen which looked good. If anyone has come up with a fix, please post!

I put a heat exchanger in mine...

Sorry, couldn't resist

Devery · 04-01-2007, 02:54 AM

Heat exchanger is my long term goal, but I need something short term

Here is the area that I don't like (bottom RH front bumper opening). Notice the bracket with a hole

Is a heat exchanger a fairly straight-forward install?

I think a intercooler would be the best filler for that.........................LOL

I saw a Cobra at the show this weekend that had a nice insert- see pic.
The guy is with the Falls City Mustang Club in New Albany Indiana. I checked the web site but couldnt see any pics. Sad to say I didnt get any head on shots as my son was taking all the pics.
But I did get a pic of the Xbox Stang that AirRide built and won with. It has the same type of look, except the triple horses..
If you are interested I can try to follow up.

Ouch that's expensive.

Devery · 04-07-2007, 05:52 PM

Thanks for the Grillcraft.com link. Although a tad bit expensive, looks good IMO so I just placed my order for the lower only. I'll be sure to post my opinion of quality/install with pics once I receive/install. I will most likely change the hardware to black so it won't be as noticeable. I went with the black vs silver (not a big bling bling fan).

Again, thanks to 69mach for the website!

V/R,
Dev

One more question...does anybody know how I could make a MACh 1 stencil for this part? I remember seeing another post where a member did this and it looked pretty good from the front.

I suppose I could measure what the size is that I need and take an example to a sign shop and ask them to make one for me, then get a can of white spray paint???
