Thank you!
I thought about it, but I like the idea of it looking like a GT500 from the side, but then having the GT front end. Maybe not the most original idea. Lol

Thanks a lot.
Yeah I really wanted to do the Bullitt grille too, but I couldn't find one anywhere for a reasonable price. I bought my grille off AM and the bumper off eBay. The install wasn't hard at all. The only slightly annoying part was getting the grille to line up with the radiator shield. It took about two hours for everything, but I had a few people helping me out.

Order the GT/CS instead. It's cheaper and is the same thing, the difference is how you paint it (CS has the sides painted, GT500 doesn't). The GT500 rear is $100-200 (if I remember correctly) more just because it's a "GT500 part"

Can you pm the price you paid for the bumper and from where? I'm looking for the GT front and New take off will give me one for about $370.00

That's what I figured, I just say GT500 to tell the different paint job. The lowest I can find it is $280. That doesn't seem like a terrible price. I'm going to save up about $900 because of paint and the dual exhaust conversion.

Its ok I'll post on here so other people can know what to shoot for. I paid $145 for the bumper and $100 for shipping. I'm almost positive these are the people I bought mine from. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ford-...#ht_1040wt_939 Good people, they ship it extremely well wrapped and fast. Then about $180 for the grille including tribar. So all in all around $400 mod. Not too bad for something that completely changes the look of your car.

Gotcha. That's not a bad price at all, I think I paid around $275 for mine. Remember you can always negotiate that stuff, or at least I do. I got $30 knocked off the pair of Nittos I just bought and $30 of my GT front. Can't hurt asking

Thanks guys.
Its taken a little while and I still have a lot of work to do, but I'm happy with it for now.
Mainly because my mod money is running low. Lol

Oh and Soldier I showed your car to my friend with a New Edge, I think he is in love.
He was wondering where you got your decal between your exhaust?
