... plus all of the PCM and other electronics changes. And don't forget the suspension and brake upgrades needed to support the engine change.

True true what about body parts. I go on American muscle.com and they have body parts just for GT and v6. Can I put a gt part on my v6? Like the gt fog lights. Or a roush stage 2 rear bumper. Will all that work? Or is it only for gt

There are quite a few GT parts that don't fit the V6. I believe the GT grill is one of those. But I do believe there are clones of the GT grill that fit the V6.

You'll need to check with the manufacturer and others here on the forum with more specifics on which parts you're considering.

Ok first u say you don't want performance parts. Then you say that's really what you want....BUT can u still get help on making it look like a Cobra(S197 is GT500).

Its pretty easy to see through you Id say.
No offense. Be honest though.

Don't badge your car as something it's not.
Body parts are fine to make it unique.
If you badge it you are gonna get your *** handed to you by a car a GT500 would SMOKE.
Then you will be laughed at and called a poser.

Harsh but the truth.
Be proud of what you have.
Many people have much less than you so be grateful and don't be so full of envy that you
want to look like you have more.

Supercharge your sixxer if you want to hang with the V8 crowd in speed.
You aren't gonna get GT500 range without yanking that engine, tranny, suspension, and spending a fortune. By then u might as well have got a different car.

But based on your first post I think looks are what you are concerned with.
Get a body kit if you wanna make it unique. Don't badge it though, just a warning if you care about Mustang ethics or being labeled a poser.

Try a site like Cervinis to look at body parts.
Fair warning for a person your age....it's not cheap to get parts and have them painted.
Even more expensive if you have them installed.

We had a GT before this GT500. As much as we lived GT500's and wanted one, we never posed as one. We modded the car to perform and look great, and were grateful for what we had. We never thought we'd own a GT500, but we got lucky one day.
Still...we love our memories of the GT, and wouldn't have done it different.

Good luck.
Enjoy what you have. Make it your own.
But PLEASE don't badge it and try to make it something it's not!
