Thanks!
That tC nextdoor is actually my sister's, we parked it over there to get it out of the way.
I should actually thank her for buying it.. I was certain that I was going to buy one until she did, then the Mustangs hit the street.
Anyway, here's another picture of the complete front fascia:
The rear bumper is pretty straight forward. Only problems we encountered was recovering the wire harness for the lights. We actually snapped part of the harness while we were drilling out the 6 rivets, and duct taped it back together... Came out great, after a few minutes of muscling it in.
Here's the diagram for that.

- Remove the trunk trim to reveal 4 or so nuts.
- Remove these 4 nuts (5).
- Remove the 4 screws labelled (3) on the fender liners.
- Take the V6 bumper off and recover the wire assembly and harness within the stock bumper. Be gentle, don't want to break the plastic harness like we did.
- You'll notice about 6 rivets here, same method as before. We took a drill to them to melt the plastic away then replaced the rivets with nuts and bolts.
- Mount everything onto the GT bumper.. nuts and bolts.
- Get the wiring (7) through the designated hole in the trunk trim before you start screwing things in. Might have need a second person to help you muscle it in.
**
Important** thing to remember is before you mount the bumper is to slide the wire (labelled (7)) through the appropriate holes, then mount the bumper. We forgot... so our wires were hanging out the bottom of the bumper. 10-15 minutes later, we use a coat hanger to pull the wire back up through the inside of the trunk... Save yourself the hassle and learn from our mistake!
