Yes, I have been searching online at other body modifications that are available but with all the guys with GT's removing there's it's hard to beat the price. There is a guy right here in Michigan ( within pick-up distance ) that is advertising both bumpers , Grill, Lights, and dual exhaust from all new GT's for $350.00. Plus i really like the stock GTlook. I'm not considering ittoo impress or fake out anyone. At my age (36) the only person i need to impress is my wife!

RE: 2006 GT Bumpers on V-6
See sig pick. I love the GT look. Why would I care if somebody thinks I am trying to look like a GT? Who cares? Plus I have the XCharger on it, so I can jump away from the stop light faster than a GT anyway, so again, who freakin cares.
Oh ya, since I took this pic, I have added the GT rockers and GT rear bumper (I did duals finally). I agree with other poster. If you go GT, you sorta have to do all three pieces or it does not look right. Look at my picture.... see how the front bumper seems to be much lower than the sides... that is because I still have the black rockers on in this picture. Once you get the color matched rockers on, then if you still have the V6 rear bumper, it looks too high.... So, for best look, plan on all three pieces.

I understand that some people like the stock GT look thats why i said personally and ultimately up to you its just that some people go all out and try to make it exactly like a stock GT; badges, faux gas cap, and everything. Thats what i was really trying to say. With some 4.0 badges its all good. I myself might pickup a GT rear bumper when i go duals and maybe some GT side skirts to go with the Street Scene v6 front facia.

Had a fender bender (my bad) so replaced the V6 front bumper with a GT takeoff. Bought if from a forum member, got it painted and installed it myself. Total cost was $100 for bumper, $200 for paint. I am happy with it. Not a GT "poser" but like the foglamps and GT grill. Custom painted pony emblem by the Hireman and matching back emblem.

Actually I have had no issues with people thinking that, because I kept my V6 rear spoiler. People would would care/know notice my pony badging on the back, and lack of GT badging on the sides, people who don't know/care ask is it a GT? I say no, and they usually replay Wow! nice car!

Well i personally wouldnt go with the gt look because it would seem as if you were trying to pass our sixer for a gt, but in any case its ultamitely up to you and i think the best place to get the stuff would be at newtakeoff or at v6mustang stuff. Just remember that the gt front bumper will only fit the gt grill so make sure to get both and a wire harness to make the gt fogs functional. Not to mention some 4.0 emblems to let everyone know what you really got ,and a dual exhaust to fill the rear bumpers other hole.
Or you could take a look at the Street Scene Kit, might suit your taste better.
By the way welcome to the mustang forums and the mustang community in general, i hope you make the right choice.

RE: 2006 GT Bumpers on V-6
Personally I dislike the GT Fogs and the stock look of the GT itself. It is a really nice sweet ride but I like my pony grill up front. It's a nice retro look for it. If I did have the option of getting a new front, I would say either Cobra or another non-rice front end that isn't like a stock GT. If you are looking for cheap price, overall good looks, get the GT front but without those fogs. They are like huge bug eyes :P
Disclaimer: Everything above is personal opinion. Anyone owning a GT with bug eyed front fog lights, I love you.
