Because I can't searcharound theforums, I figured I would ask.

I recently bought a GT (bumper) take off package thing on eBay because I want to put the bumpers on my mustang. I know about the install guide (https://mustangforums.com/m_1121391/tm.htm) and have been reading and re-reading it intently, but I'm confused with regard to the extra parts that I have to buy and would like some clarification.

I have a list of stuff that I need...

...but I have some questions.

With the isolator, do I need to buy a new one? I've gone online to a few different websites and entered the number in the parts number search and I get something about a Shelby isolator. Is that right? Or should I assume the GT/V6 versions are the same then? Or that the GT/shelby versions are the same? Or could I just modify mine?

Also, this is a dumb question, but because I want to be sure... for the screws and inserts for the front bumper, are they sold individually online or in packs?

Do i really need to buy a deflector?

Do i need a new radiator shield?

Finally, do I need a pushpin retainer for the rear?

Thanks.

The deflector/radiator shield hasn't been proved to be necessary, but I got it anyways. If you get that, then you'll definitely need the inserts. The splash guards are needed for a GT bumper if you don't want an open gap for everybody to see at it's corners. As for the foam isolator, you'll need the GT for the grille to fit properly. It's all a matter if you want it done to an OEM quality or not, the only downside is that it costs just a little more money.

The pushpin retainer for the rear though, I don't think you'll need. There's a middle fastener on the GT rear bumpers but I just bent mine a few times and tore it off. *shrug* Looks good to me.
