Most components will NOT interchange between brands. Even the little trim pieces are often different enough to not bolt right up to the existing holes for mounting. As for mustang 2 components on the front end, if they use actual mustang 2 parts then things should interchange, if it is just "mustang 2 inspired" than who knows. Bodies are slightly different in all dimensions from one maker to the next, let alone stretched versions. Windshieds will not swap easily either, but do not need to be made of lexan, the breakage problems described by others I have not seen. But there is a problem that they're not addressing which is causing glass to break, just ignore that and put lexan in there is some people's cure. So the seats from brand X won't fit, the windwing's mounting holes don't line up, the bumper hoop has the holes in the wrong places, these headlight trim rings are the wrong size, all this will happen if you try to hodgepodge a cobra together with mismatched manufacture parts.
