    New Front Bumper Installed from Pershing

    Ordered the bumper painted from Pershing Auto Body Part in Illinois for $355 shipped, and actually they are now $199 unpainted: http://www.pershingauto.com/new-fron...ord-musta.html

    Finally got around to installing it Saturday. Everything went smoothly, came with the brackets to mount to the fenders and 2 rivets but I had to run to Ace anyways for push pins, nut/washers/bolts anyways. Fit and finish is just like stock. Even has the factory orange peel!









    Will get some better pics but need new brake pads, front tires and need to cut the springs hopefully by next weekend. BTW Ford wanted around $650+ for a painted bumper.

    So true....Ya the clips on the passenger side were broken so it would hang off a little bit plus numerous rock/paint chips. Im working on suspension/brakes now. Found replacement rotors and ceramic pads for $375 shipped! Once the car can handle the power, Ill allow it to make more :)

    Nothing crazy...cutting half a coil all the way around, new 14mm front IRS bolts(replace 12's), and eventually get the Delrin bushings for the IRS. Im sure a clutch will be in my future. This weekend ill be painting the calipers, replacing the pads/rotors, and doing the springs. Maybe installing my wideband if I get time too
