Cobra rear bumper (with "cobra" sanded out)

well, I've got 400 bucks in my pocket right now and have been considering getting 15% window tint and keyless entry/alarm, which would be a total of around $350. But I also am thinking of adding a gt rear bumper with this money which would fit my dual exhaust better than the sixer bumper... but I like the look of the cobra rear bumpers a lot (with the black part at the bottom). I think Junior was saying he was doing this but I am thinking about getting a cobra rear and sanding out the "COBRA" letters and then painting after sanding (of course). I like the "MUSTANG" letters but that isn't an option with the cobra rear.
So... do you guys think I should go for the cobra thing with no letters or just the gt rear. And btw this would be the cobra one i'd get, and it's already painted my color  ...  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true

I think it would look pretty sweet man. I'm just waiting on my bullit friend to get his cobra bumper...so I can buy his GT bumper off of him lol. It's such a sweet bullit. Mach 1 chin spoiler, eleanor wheels, 4.10 gears, etc etc. He's about to buy a 2.5 inch cowl hood, CDC concepts c pillars, louver style, Cobra rear bumper with cobra shaved. God that's such a nice car. He showed me some pics of a bullit with a shaved cobra bumper and it was a nice looking rear end.

my question is why you want the corba part sanded out, i think that would add a nicer touch to it. |

you cant just "sand" out the letters you have to fill them with liquid urathane and smooth that out.

how hard is it to remove the letters and keep it stable enough so it wont crack in the future.

ok, yea... I am planning on asking somebody at this "Sherwin Williams: Automotive" here in town about the removal of the letters, it would be really cool if they could somehow get the "MUSTANG" in the "COBRA" place.
