Default Adding GT bumper to V6, extra parts needed.

Just paypaled money for a GT bumper so I'm going to need to get the extra parts to covert it all over.

Anyone know of the cheapest place to get these parts?

I'm interested in this as well. The best place I have found for the GT fender liners is eBay, but you will still end up dishing about about $75-$100 for them shipped. You have to watch out when you are looking for those because some sites will have them listed for $15 or so, but shipping is outrageous.

It's ridiculous. They're a cheap piece of plastic and should cost no more than $5 each. I found them online for like $8 each, which is reasonable, but they wanted like $90 for shipping?!?! (Which makes no sense) The warehouse ended up being in Jersey so I drove over and bought them in person

Okay does anyone have a picture of the fender liner extension? I'll take that too as I can hit some salvage yards hoping for a rearender.

Also the radiator guard/shield anyone have pictures of that?

I know, Alec its so stupid. I'll be hitting some junk yards here soon to see if I can find some.

As far as extensions, I had made my own out of rubber from a floor mat but I ended up taking them off. It doesn't look terrible without the gap being covered, but it doesn't look finished either. And the radiator guard I don't think very many people have those. I know I didn't use it and my car has been running fine.

I havent used the radiator shield at all and I've had a GT bumper for going on 3 years! But I can tell you that the bumper will start to slouch without it, well mine is atleast. I am going to get one to help channel air into my heat exchanger too! You can get them for around $40-$50 shipped off eBay. Also as far as the foam support goes for the middle of the bumper you can trim the stock V6 one!

I agree with everyone else...checking eBay, classified section and newtakeoff.com.

I don't know your plan for mufflers but my GT mufflers of my car are taking up space in the basement. Let me know if interested.
