I parked my GT for the winter today (which totally sucks). I have the new hood (TruFiber Venom version 3) and GT500 front end sitting at the house and waiting installation. What I need to know is if anyone has any sort of a 'guess' or idea what extra bolts and nuts I need to do the conversion installatioin. I have had assumed that I could/would be able to use all the bolts from the previous front end to put on the new one with but need to either verify that is the case or need some sort of idea what I can go out and purchase and have on hand as I swap the front end out.

The idea is to have the entire front end and hood swapped out so that when the painter is ready, all we need to do is drive it over and let him take it back apart and paint everything individually (and have a clue how to put it back together). I plan on doing the conversion probably this coming Wednesday so I'm just trying to get everything ready so any last minute problem can be avoided.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

you'll be able to use all the stock hardware the is currently holding the stock front end on the car, but you will also need the bolts, clips, and screws for the front chin spoiler along with some rivots that hold some other brackets on (on the inside of the bumper cover).

 

Yeah guys...this is what I'm asking....I ALREADY HAVE the entire front end conversion already (bumper, chin spoiler, valences, headlights, etc) as well as the new hood.

I was asking about what I might need to purchase to hold it all on. Sorry if I was too vauge. Any suggestions on those 'bolts, clips or screws for the chin spoiler' (sizes, amounts)?

Thanks for any suggestions.

You'll need about 20 or less parker screws with the 7 mm head and 3/4" built in washer with the clips.
It is mostly used to secure the chin spoiler with the bottom of the bumper.
Look under your GT, you should see 4 of them connecting your bumper with that rectangular lower shield. Get more of those that's it.

 

Like Pascal said. Only extras you need are the bolts, washers, lock washers and nuts to hold on the chin spoiler. GET THEM AT OSH, HOME DEPOT, LOWES, etc. for 5 bucks.
