It cost me about $2000 for the front bumper including paint, $450ish for the rear bumper including paint and if you want the unpainted/matte side skirts try finding someone with a V6 that will trade, exact same thing and will save you some money.
I agree though, call Kevin, I went through him and he was really helpful and I had the parts very quickly.

Give Kevin a call, tell him what you want and he will hook you up with everything you need to include every last nut & bolt you will need. He knows what parts you have to have so don't worry about having to know part numbers. Great guy

Unfortunately, most threads that start off with someone sharing their latest mods will have no mention of the prices paid, where they bought them, nor the shops that assisted! It can take several pages before that info is found.
That's why it's so important that people don't just post a few photos saying "look at my new mods!", but that they take a few seconds and let the rest of the forum know the details.
BTW, if you mention the stores or shops there is a good chance they might want to sponsor your Mustang, or at least thank you for your support with free goodies. Happened to me!
Hopefully this shop will sponsor your Shelby clone:

Hey,
No it did not come painted. I got the rear bumper for like $275 and it cost like $200ish for paint so actually around $450-475 for the rear bumper. Not sure if you know or not, but do not get the gt500 rear bumper, get the GT/CS appearance bumper, exact same bumper, but much less.

I've had one place affiliated with a Ford dealership tell me that a front end conversion will need new fenders. Everything I've read here on the forums, including Mellowyellow's part list on a seperate thread, and in my discussions with others have made no mention.
I'm guessing they have no clue what they're talking about.

You don't need new fenders, unless yours are trashed and in need of new ones. All you need is the the front fender inner, front-section liners for the V6. Or you could trim your GT ones to mate with the chin spoiler. Trust me on this.

+1 Hell if you want you don't even have to trim them at all if you don't want too just give them a good push and they pop into place
