There is a lot more involved to the swap than just the headlights and bumper cover, my understanding is that it will cost around $1200 to do the full conversion

From what i have seen if your talking about converting to the GT500 front end. plan on spending some where in the area of 1200+ for all the work involved. May be one of the other guys can give you better info. but this is just what i have seen here on MF.

still have to paint ontop of the 1200 and i have heard the price for everything is not 300-400 higher....so i think you are now at 1500+ paint

It all depends on where you get the parts. Price is from $1200 to $2400. DON'T go to Ebay they are the ones buying from Ford and reselling for $2400.

www.fordpartswebsite.com is the cheapest place I have found ($1150, but I didn't get the chin spoiler) You can't look the parts up online but just call them. Ryan in the parts dept knows all the parts you will need. Here's a list of the parts:

bumper
headlights
foglights
bumper isolator
upper grille
lower grille
radiator cover
several brackets

Pretty sure that's all. Price may have gone up a bit since I got mine months ago. These parts will bolt right up to any GT or V6 Mustang. Installation is easy and can be done in about an hour.

I put the cervini body kit on my 06 Gt. I have a brand new hood, front bumper, grill w/fog lights, side valances. they have about 2800 - 3000 miles on them. They are boxed up and stored in my garage. The color is Tungsten Grey. If you are interested in these items, my email is jimsnier@yahoo.com

eh.. i called my local ford dealerships (theres 3 large dealerships quite close to me, within 300 miles, which is what i consider close as i drive nearly 200 miles a day, heh) and the prices were as follows: gt500 bumper (painted to match) = $130. gt500 headlights & foglights = $225 upper/lower gt500 grille = $125 what else would i need? and i would rather do the conversion myself, so what do you guys think? should i just order my parts through ford and do it all myself?

radiator sight shield
radiator support bracket
front fender liners (front portios only, same as v6)
bumper foam isolator
upper grill
lower grill
