USPS IdiotsI decided to replace the front bumper on my '99 Cobra with a reproduction of one from a 2000 Cobra R. I had already installed a Roush body kit on the car several years ago and always wanted to get the front of the car down to the level of the Roush side skirts but I didn't want to use the Roush front bumper cover since it would lose it's Cobra identity, IMO. The Cobra R bumper cover with its lowered splitter solves those problems. Unfortunately, the brackets that attach the ends of the bumper to the front fenders are pop riveted to the inside of the bumper and I didn't want to drill out those rivets on a perfectly good original bumper and they weren't included with the new bumper. Ford also no longer makes those brackets due to the age of the car.
However, Late Model Restorations (LMR) does make reproduction brackets. So, I ordered a pair of their brackets back on 2/26/25. LMR is in Waco, TX. According to the USPS tracking number, the package was in Pittsburgh, PA on 3/4/25. Because I live in west central Pennsylvania I assumed the package would have been here by now. Afterall, today is 3/7/25 and it was less than 100 miles away four days ago. Wrong. Can't do that. Guess where it was today? Santa f'n Clara, California! WTF? Musk can't DOGE these a-holes fast enough!
Here's a photo of the unpainted Cobra R bumper during trial fitting on the car.Sat, 08 Mar 2025 02:38:51 +0000
