    Ford is a bunch of cheap bastards....if you look, almost all cobra or other limited edition mustang parts show up on the lesser cars a few years later.

    94-95, 99 cobras had the standard mustang bumper. 96-98, 01 and up all say Cobra in one form or another.

    If you look further, you'll notice things like the 03-04 v6 car's had the 99 cobra exclusive hood...01+ GT's had the Bullit Wheels...02+ GT's had the 99 spring feature exlusive hood scoops...etc -- Ford is ghey when it comes to cutting corners.

    Edit: Thought I'd list some of the easy ways to spot a 99 cobra (a few of these things carry over through the years but these are the easiest for 99s).
    *(used to be) exlusive hood
    *Different front bumper
    *Different wheels
    *The tailights have separate amber turn signals (GT's are integrated into the brakelights)
    *Cobra badging on fenders and trunk decklid
    *Brakes are ALOT bigger and say cobra on the front rotors
    *On 99 up cars you can look under the rear and see if the exhaust goes under the suspension -- dead giveaway for the Independent Rear Suspension found on cobras.
    *Interior has white-faced guages and cobra written on the airbag

    Naw man, not me. You'll usually see me from Canton, down around Kennesaw/Marietta, and occasionally in Buckhead or the Highlands. I rarely go up to Alpharetta.
