Rear bumper cover scrapes

I've been so careful about the front of my car that I never thought that if the front didn't scrape that the back might. I was pulling into my steep driveway and the front had no problem but the rear bumper drug the payment. It did some decent damage to the carbon fiber part.

The point of this thread is to see if anyone can help me find the part numbers for the rear bumper carbon fiber cover. To me it looks to be a separate piece like the front. If you have the front part number handy it would be nice to have that as well. I just have not searched for it....yet. I don't think it makes a difference but my gt350 is a 2018. Also if there are any links to replacing that piece this might be a good thread for the future people that join the Club.

Also, where does everyone order their parts? I am new to the mustang club and I am sure there is a dealer or two who have the best price and service online.

Hopefully if you read all of this that this serves as a caution to be careful with the back bumper as well. If you have already learned this lesson, then let this be a reminder.

Welcome to the GT350 world and to the forum!

Sucks that you have a damage already, I had to replace the front splitter a month after I got the car.

There are several dealers that sell OEM parts with a 20%-30% discount over the MSRP quoted by the official Ford part site.

Is this what you are looking for?

More specifically I think you are looking for the Valance Panel - Ford part# FR3Z-17F828-AB.

Hope this helps!

If you're talking about the rear splitter part, it's not carbon fiber. The only carbon fiber on these cars are the wheels on the R.

The second link is the part! Thank you for the reply.

I guess I should have said faux carbon fiber. I can't believe that trim piece is that expensive but such is life. Thanks again it is much appreciated.

You’re welcome:cheers:

Sucks that this happened, I hope you find a replacement for a good price. Parts for these cars are a fortune. Its all about how fast you approach bumps and inclines. Momentum will cause most of these scrapes.

So that bit under the hood that says "carbon fiber composite" is not CF?

No, it is a special light carbon fiber reinforced plastic. You can read more about it here: http://articles.sae.org/14492/

Read it. Says carbon fiber. Ford is quite proud of it.

“A great deal of work was required by Magna, Ford, and BASF to validate the design of a closed-section thermoplastic GOR, and additional development work was required for the welding process to allow for the welding of a conductive carbon-filled resin.”

So, yes it has carbon fiber in it but it is not pure carbon fiber in the way the GT350R wheels are for example. This type of composites are getting very popular and Ford is not the only manufactures using them for body parts.
