You would have to actually get a GT500 front fascia-- and new headlights (among other things) that are angled properly for that front.

There are other threads, if you use the search,about what's involved in swapping the fascia.

The parts alone are going to cost ~$1300, give or take a little. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as just swapping bumper covers.

1300 if you get a good deal, closer to 2k including tax if u pay msrp for parts.

not even sure if that includes the hood.

then u got prep, paint, and install.

The GT500 front end is the perfect candidate for frontal accidents.
If not, it's a bunch of money to fork up.
I think the Roush front is very expensive too, but not even as close as sexy than the Cobra.

I don't regret one bit my conversion, I wish I did it sooner, when the bumper retailed for$240 when they were first available[:@].
I should have bought 5 of them and stock them, I wasn't on the ball on that one.

The North American Tuning Website has the Front Fascia Kit...including headlights and wiring for them for slightly under 2k.

When I buy a GT next year (hopefully gas will be cheaper to use as daily driver) I'm going with this and the Trufiber Venom Hood from LMperformance. It's apparently functional as well as aggressive.

The advanatge of the fascia kit is that any GT500 hood will fit...no worries about clearance issues of the sort.

I am pretty skeptical about buying parts separately.
