Front Bumper Replacement

[mattshotgunk]

I have a 2015 Mustang GT with the performance package. The mounting tabs on the front bumper of the driver's side are broken, therefore I am considering replacing the bumper. Will there be any fitment issues if I was to transfer the grilles, splitter, etc., to a bumper cover as pictured below?

In my experience that stuff is always hit or miss. It depends where you get the bumper from. If it is a quality OEM Ford part you should have no issues. Then again I've seen no issues w cheaper stuff too. The grille should be fine. I would be more worried about all the bolt homes lining up right

The replacement bumper is a new take off, my concern was more along the line of there being different versions of the front bumper between models like a base or premium.

Pretty sure all the front facias are the same. The splitters are really the main thing that is different on them. So depending on what was previously on that front end, you may need to add holes for the PP splitter but who knows? You could probably pull the parts on Ford parts site to see what is different.

Yes everything will transfer. You may first try plastic welding that broken tab.

Or use wood screws...

Thanks, you addressed all my concerns.

I think the biggest fitment issue will be the seam at the broken area itself. However, it doesn't matter if the hole for the one screw there is broken. Because that screw hurts alignment more often than it helps.

If it was me, I would try to get the current bumper to work. If the seam just won't behave then I would consider replacing it.

Are new take-off bumpers available anywhere?

A seller named microautopartsinc on eBay has some.
