GT500 Front Conversion - What DO I DO?

I recently wrecked the front of my car (no one was hurt thankfully) and am attempting to get everything in order to have the GT500 front conversion completed.

Can you tell me anything special that I may need to tell my bodyshop that you may have come accross? Also, do I need new headlights and does it come with the kit?

I want to be sure I have everything together before handing it off to the body shop. Thank you for all your help!

Just go see Pascal, he has done it once already.

If I remember right you are in the Central FL area so its a no brainer.

Sorry again to hear about the crash. At least no one was hurt.

Do you think it’s better to buy the parts separately or package priced?

I can buy the front bumper and upper/lower grill for $650-700 unpainted.

Can you buy the part accessories separately?

*This is my opinion and not necessarily that of MustangForums.com

Does anyone have pics of a GT500 front end, on a GT, with the GT hood and also with a GT500 hood?
Is it right the GT hood reaches down at the front more than the GT500 item?

I'm from Illinois, so that would not be an option.

yes that is correct the gt hood will fit the 500 front but it looks kinda like it is frowning...LOL. in mellows post you can see lots of gt hoods on 500 fronts.
