Default GT Grille & lites in a GT500 Fascia?

If you put a GT500 front fascia on a 2007 GT, can you use the GT grille, badge and fog lights? Will it fit the GT500 fascia without modification?

Here's a Photoshop mockup, so you see what I mean:



Thanks in advance for your help!

That would take some pretty serious modification. The GT500 front end is ALL different parts, inside and out, except for the turn signal lights.

Although I did see someone put the pony emblem on one on a different forum. I don't think that would be too hard.

The grill will absolutely not fit unless you do some serious work to it. You might be able to mount some fogs to it or even behind the grill and the emblem should be fairly easy, though it might give it a slight V6 look to it if you cant get the fogs in. But this is where the fun begins, all the creativity, especially when the outcome goes in your favor. Best of luck. Superdave, Iwant to seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the hood already

I had an idea similar to this. My idea was to black them out and mount them behind the grille. You'd only be able to see them looking very closely or at night when they're on.

You need more than the bumper. There are many pieces you need to buy. Cheapest place I found is fordpartswebsite.com for $1150. I have seen it for close to $2000 before too.
