2000 Mustang GT

I just picked up a 2000 Mustang GT today.. It needs a few things..

It has no front and rear bumper cover so im thinking of making a cobra clone. Will I be able to or will there a ton of modification? The guy I bought the car from said he had a Saleen kit on it.

Also does anyone have a stock H-pipe they are selling or renting so I can get this thing smogged. It currently has a Bassani X pipe with SLP cat back exhaust. I may be getting rid of that and running stock exhaust but I dont know yet.. Just need some advice as I have never owned a 4.6 Mustang.

I have a set of Cobra rims as well with MT E.T Streets I would be willing to trade for a set of drag rims. Must be 17 inch slicks-n-skinnies look with likewise tires on them. I.E. some sort of new or like new M.T. ET Street, Hoosier, or Nitto Drag tires. Fronts I could care less. If ya come across something let me know. They are the stock 04 Cobra rims. Not all chrome like the wifes car has.

Well, Ran it by my daughter and she is looking at a set of FR500 black chrome... I think she is leaning towards that...

Here are the latest pics of our progress... We are hoping to have it running on the street by May but work and money will determine if we make it. I also have the Side View Mirror in black painted to match but I dont know how to get the door panels off? Any Advice:hmmmm2:

I have a Guage cluster on the way (Cobra SVT) and all the correct emblems and Cobra in the middle of grill... I also have a Billit gas cap cover to be installed.. What do you guys think?
