Default GT Bumper Finally On

I took some pictures of the whole process, not very specific.
The whole thing took about 3 hrs, but that was with my Fiance running back into town to get a part he forgot. It was pretty easy. Thank all you guys on the forums that helped me when I had questions. You guys are great.

The GT front bumper looks so much better than the V6 one. I need to swap mine out one of these days.

Nicely done! Looks classy, and nice emblem. Still gotta get around to doing that, but I'm still debating a CS bumper haha.

Thanks guy.
I'm really glad I went with the billet instead of the OEM GT grille.
The conversion cost about $420 all together. I knew it would make a difference, but I didn't really know how much until I saw it on my own car.

@ aaquib you can get a CDC chin spoiler to get the same look at the CS bumper. Thats what I'm eventually going to do. I'm not sure what the price difference would be.

Oh, you have piqued my interest greatly! haha, I'll have to look around for the chin then, I assume it bolts on to a GT bumper?

Yep. People just paint the sides and leave the middle black sometimes. I think it looks pretty close to the CS bumper.

Looks so much better now.
