Interesting... Saw this posted at another site.
Not sure of the quality/fitment, but I sure hope these work out!

I don't know what you are trying to do, but those 99-01 front bumpers are as rare as hen's teeth. I also have no idea what a shaved rear bumper is. Sorry if I couldn't help more.

Shaved means the "cobra" lettering that is usually dead center in the middle of the rear bumper has been shaved (aka smoothed over)

Bumper looks odd without the fogs/plastic around the fogs

Sorry, I should have explained my original post better.

I just wanted to let '01 Cobra owners, and others, that this company has front bumper covers available. Seems to be a reasonable price too.

I also own an '01 Bullitt. I've seen the '01 Cobra front bumper on a Bullitt and it looks great - IMO. I'm also a fan of the shaved '03-'04 rear bumper covers for non-Cobras.

As I mentioned, I don't know how good the quality/fitment is, but they are available.

Oh, I didn't notice the spots where the fogs should be. Maybe someone was setting up a twin turbo? All I know from experience, if you use a Terminator front bumper on a New Edge, you need to also change the fogs and wiring harness. Good job on spotting the front bumper fog area.

The bezels just aren't installed. Those are usually sold separately.

Ive seen maybe 2 reviews and they seemed iffy. It was gonna take some work to get an OE fitment and then need a little time to see how it holds up

They're fiberglass but the company claims they use a flex agent and they are more durable. There is a pic of 2 dudes twisting the **** out of one of the bumpers on the site without it breaking but who knows how legit that is and how close the thing was to actually breaking or if it was already cracking.

Nothing fits like OEM... unfortunately. Some get real close... others are a dumpster fire. There is a company, KBD I think... that actually folds up their urethane stuff to box it in standard size boxes and it apparently unfolds fine with a heat gun... I dunno. Hard to justify spending a lot of money on body kits when a Terminator Certfit bumper is like $200 plus ship...

I highly suggest against installing a fiberglass front bumper. The first thing you encounter in the road/curb in a parking lot will destroy it. Just take a look at all the ricer front bumpers.

I'd just keep my eyes peeled for a real deal or wait for someone to start making them in urethane. The 03/04 front bumper looks oversized and bloated compared to the aggressive 99/01 piece. Don't get me wrong, it looks great on a Terminator, just not on much else.

TBTH I like the Saleen pieces... problem is fit and finish and the price for the OG saleen stuff. There are replicas out there but not sure how good any of it is...

Saleen quality isn't exactly top notch either. I bought their SN95 front and rear bumpers, along with a s281 spoiler. They all had pin holes in the finish and the body shop said it was just poor quality. This was back in the early 00s though.
They were never known for their quality body lpeces.

I've heard that the newer stuff was fixed but dunno. My issue is that I just hate the GT front bumper and I'm stationed overseas so good luck me getting anything large over here for a reasonable price lol. The KBD stuff actually is folded and put into regular size boxes so that could come out here via mil post.

Why this hasn't happened in the 19 years since that bumper was last produced is beyond me. I think its obvious to us who love the 99/01 bumper that these companies that make the 03/04 bumper are loosing a lot of money by not making the 99/01 piece. I honestly have no idea why someone hasn't capitalized on this but at this point I doubt we will ever see one.
