    Marauder and 03 cvpi bumper exchange

    Hi all, can anyone tell me whether or not a marauder front bumper would fit on a 03 crown vic without changing the header panel and headlights or should I consider (drilling the holes myself).

    Rich,
    That product looks nice, but a MM bumper just to add fog lights would look far better.

    As I said in another post...
    My brother had a 1983 Cougar and he put the bumper from an 1987 Super Coupe on it. Clone wannabe? No, it had functional scoop & fog light holes.
    The same (fog light holes) could be said about the MM bumper on any other panther.

    The answer is yes. But you should know the front cover is $1335.00 from Ford and the header panel will also fit. Mine just got replaced from a recent accident. P.S. lets not let someones MM come up missing!

    There may be some behind bumper cover pieces that are slightly different too.

    It's a lot of money just for Fog lights. Try a search on eBay I think there are aftermarket Marauder covers for less.

Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    I have also considered addiing a MM bumper cover to my CV Sport just for the fog lights. I need to replace my bumper cover anyway, so the cost shouldn't be a problem.
    But I've heard that everything had to be converted to MM parts. The header panel, the grille, the headlights, and the cornering lights. I don't need to replace all of that on my car. Does anyone know for sure ? Has it been done?

    I'm gonna turn it on

    Blow it out

    Hmm, $1400 bumper for fog lights, or $200 max for fog light's and find a spot yourself? Get the Sylvania Xenarc's. I had them on my old '95 CV, of course I didn't do a good job mounting them for long term use. I WAS going to have them like the Aero GM's have, with the turn signals embedded in the bumper, but I found the MM before, so I didn't bother doing that. IIRC the Xenarc's were great when they came out, unfortunately they were about $1k for the whole set, maybe more. Sylvania dropped production, and whatever they had left for backstock, sold for whatever profit they could to smaller shops. I found mine on suvlights.com. They might have some left.

    From what I have seen and read, the answer is, NO. Because of the design of the bumper and grille. Compare the two front ends.

    Fwiw...

    I was looking at a 2008 Grand Marquis and noticed it had optional fog lights.
    1957 Custom 2 dr Sedan, 1979 F-series 14' U-Haul 330 XD, 1979 F150 4X4 428 PI/CJ heads/NP 435/4:11 axles-rear Det. Lkr., 1993 Grand Marquis, Y2K CVPI supercharged 5.4, 2003 MM

    The more I learn, the more I find out I don't know.

    Confusion will be my epitaph...

    Home of the Berserker Marauder, one of the ancient Norse warriors legendary for working themselves into a frenzy before a battle and fighting with reckless savagery and insane fury, held to be invulnerable...shirtless regardless of wounds...(possibly due to ingestion of psychotropic and hallucinatory drugs such as Fly Agaric Mushrooms)...

    Mercury started that in 2006, my fathers '06 GM has fog lights. I don't know if bumper will fit with the older grill though.
