Default Will a GT front bumper fit on a V6?

I cannot figure out if a Roush or even stock GT front bumper will work with my V6. Im pretty sure it will bolt on the same but will the honey comb grill fit in the same?? I have a billet grill that I would like to keep but dont want to be surprised when I get a GT bumper and it doesnt fit.

Yes the bumper will fit, but you will need a new grill. There are a few other things you have to do to get it to fit too. Hopefully RedFire will come on here. He has done the mod to his car.

What you will need:

GT grill
GT fogs
If you are not a PP like I am, a wiring harness for the fogs
And some little foam bumpstop things. The ones for our v6s are a little different and the front bumper won't sit correctly with them.

You also need the GT front fender liners, the GT front bumper hangs lower than your v6, so when u put the GT bumper on, your v6 fender liners are too short, and you will not be able to put the bottom screw on the GT bumper into anything...Check the search function there are alot of write up's about this conversion.

Since you have a billet grille, it'll be easier to fit it than the OEM plastic one.
For the rest of the parts, use the search...
That question have been asked a million time by now, so there is plenty of material about this conversion on these boards.

Fender liners, GT Bumper, GT Grille, GT foam insert (not a neccesity, you can trim down the V6 one), and also you will hear you need the radiator stone deflector that mounts under the bumper to somewhere on the K-member I believe. I've had my GT bumper since Summer 08 and never had any issues without it but it does have some play to the bumper and I hear it will star falling apart and warping on the lower parts of it however I've never experienced this. Easy mod, and a big mod IMO. You got from the smiling V6 bumper to the frowning GT one!
