What do the round scoops under the turn signals go to? Are there fogs in there or something?
since i know the guy from another friend, he is doing it for $175 (both painted and prepped...etc) the reason he is redoing it is because the bumper got dirt on it right before he painted it and he didnt realize that. so now he is going to do a custom job to make it look perfect and better than it would have (even though it already looked great aside from the bubbles ) i believe the gt500 lower grill does fit as they appear to be identical. i am going to try and "custom fit" my v6 grill in there. (the pics are with the v6 grill and as u can see it looks like it will fit fine i think)

yes, i have fog lights for the holes so it is like the gt500 bumper.

LOL i got it from Blue Oval Industries ($149.99 +$99 shipping) [Well actually i bought it from them on eBay] I had heard horror stories about them, but i called before and they were EXTREMELY HELPFUL and answered all of my questions. As you can see, the bumper was fine and arrived quickly. I guess it is only certain parts that people have had issues with them. ??who knows??

LOL i dont mind questions. (i dont have anything else to do tonight anyways )

yea, i was low on cash too and everywhere else wanted about $500 just for the bumper/chin/grill then you have to buy paint and possibly fogs = close to $1000

nd luckily for me it turned out alright
