Default Front bumper Question v-6 vs GT

While searching for parts I see many places that claim The V6 and GT front bumpers will not inter change. I would like to know why ???

I have been thinking about buying a V6 car and putting on a take off GT bumper and grill, what are the problems in doing this?

This topic has tons of posts on it..

but since you only got a couple posts maybe you dont know about the Search Button yet..

(now you do..)

Yes, to answer your question, the bumpers are interchangeable.. for the front, you need fender liners from a GT in conjunction with the bumper to make it fit right (also a $6 piece of foam that goes under the bumper..)

If you use a GT bumper, you need to use a GT grille.. and the same goes for a v6... no interchangeable grilles.. so don't even let your dreams have dreams about it.. lol [8D]

You might consider the other bumper options before you go with a GT one though..
(there are tons)

good luck.
