The PROTOTYPE that never came to be! 2000 Mustang Cobra R Splitter Support Brace - Review & Install

Alright, here us out. Yes, we developed a part for the 2000 Cobra R that at the time of this video is 23 years old. However, we felt that this needed to exist for a few reasons. One, it proves our commitment to the cars; regardless of their age and production numbers. Two, we wanted all of our "2000 Cobra R friends" to have the ability to purchase a splitter support brace that should have been offered back when these cars were new.

Well, here we are. Insert LMR's 2000 Cobra R splitter support brace that is modeled after a prototype piece from the early 2000s. This will reinforce and strengthen the front bumper and splitter on a 2000 Cobra R or a car with a Cobra R-style front splitter with the rearward bracket.
