RE: 3dC Front Air Dam or GT Bumper?
tmsmith and oddysey:
There is a guy in the allfordmustangs forum who has a GT converted to look like a v6 w/the pony grill from the v6. I asked the guys over there to help me find the thread where he explained how to do it, because like you guys if I could hook up the pony grill w/fogs to a GT bumper that would defintely be the look I want. I remember he said he used marine rubber tape/liner or something like that to fill in the gaps (since the v6 is smaller) and had to fabricate two of the existing clips to fit the gt bumper. It looked really, really professional and hadunique, yetawesome look!

oh yeah I saw one of those yesterday too. The guy had left the gap open from the v6 grill... it definitely needs something to fill in that void between the v6 grilland the gt bumper.

Awesome.
Other than that, do I need to have the CS-007 upper grille insert? Not quite sure what that is but thought I would ask. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
Look forward to the pictures!

RE: 3dC Front Air Dam or GT Bumper?
You know when I did my GT bumper swap, I sat my GT grill next to my V6 grill and I swear I checked it up and down and it looked IDENTICAL. I mean I could not see one difference between the two.
I saw the thread where the V6 grill would not fit and now that I remember that, I am wondering if the only reason it would not fit is because of the GT vs V6 styrofoam bumper insert (which is different) forces the bumper up which causes gaps.
Someone should try and leave the V6 styrofoam on their bumper, put the GT bumper on, and then put in the V6 grill and see if that works

...then no, you don't need it.
the stock V6 grill fits the CS6 bumper, as the CS6 is a 6-cylinder Shelby
and you want proof.... here's proof
