RE: GT bumper with v6 Grill
That's what I have right now, my front bumper got messed up and it was actually easier to track down a GT front bumper. There is a very small gap between the pieces, but honestly it's really not that noticeable. Keep in mind, it's made NOT to fit easily-there are tabs that the V6 grille won't fit into the GT bumper's tabs, but it's not too hard to get it to work, if you're willing to put a couple small nuts and bolts in, it can be done in about three hours or so.

Why won't it fit? Too big or too small? I can deal with a little gap. I may have to go bullett but i dont want to put much money in this car. Can't stand that my mom made me get a v6, so im just waiting to pay it off so i can get something else.

RE: GT bumper with v6 Grill
The V6 grill is smaller and the mounting tabs also dont line up with the GT bumper cover.
There will be a big gap and it wont be properly secured.
The OEMGT grillsare available as take-offs on eBay for $50 or so.
Here is a pic of a GT grill in a V6 bumper. [:@]

RE: GT bumper with v6 Grill
yeah i have seen that done plenty of times. Not a big fan of the look, and i really dont care that much cause i dont want a full GT front end. Just wanted to make sure it would go in.
