Default I just bought a GT front & rear bumper now what?

I just bought a GT front bumper with grille and fog lights and also a rear bumper cover for my 08 V6. Do I need any extra parts to do the install? or should everything fit as is?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Front inner GT fender liners and a GT front styrofoam insert.
The gravel deflector and such.
There is a post that lists everything needed.
And step by step pics of the installation.

When I changed out the front bumper on my mustang I used this how to from another member. They have all the extra ford part numbers you will need to do the install right.

I used this same how-to ^^^, it is a good write up. When I switched the front bumper to the gt, I got the new fender linners, and stone deflector. I didn't get the styrofoam insert for behind the cover. It was a minute difference in size and I didn't feel it was critical. The cover fits without it and is plenty secure.

Also the packets of screw listed on the write up where hard to get from ford (for me), just go to a local hardware store and buy stainless screws and bolts to hold the defletor on. They are loads cheaper from a hardware store. (AND STAINLESS WON'T RUST)

Good luck

Thanks for the help guys

I got the bumper from Ebay, $120 shipped. I searched for like a month until I found a good one.
