My dealer got my car out of southern califorina, and it had been "customized" with an aftermarket grill and fog lights, and as far as I can tell , it looks identical to the GT front end. BUT.... parts counters tell me that the bra for the GT will not fit. I am trying to track down the shop that did the work, but right now I have no solution to this problem. Any ideas out there??

 

Is there a quarter inch overlap of the grille and your bottom bumper? If so, there is a shop called West Coast Performance Parts I believe that has the V6 conversion without a grille replacement.

Streetscene also has a kit now native for the V6 and Casco has a GT conversion kit that is a true bumper replacment.

 

Charlie at West Coast is a good guy, its probably his mod.

Yep, thats the one. I went with his first, til my parking garage messed up my bumper, then gave me enough money (via the claim) to swap out the bumper.

 

Thanks for the replies, that will help with tracking down the manufacturer of the grill. But I guess my real question was, Am I out of luck putting a full nose bra on my vert? Or maybe there are custom shops that will make a vinyl bra from scratch?

 

Is it a 2005 or 2006 model, cuz the 06 V6 has a new pony option from the factory which give the car a GT appearnce but he front fog lights are actually a bit smaller (couple other small things set it apart also)

 

It's an 05 , the dealer apparently sent it out to a shop, much like they do with aftermarket wheels for the showroom beauties. The Ford parts counter guy told me he already tried to fit a factory bra to a V6/gt ,and nothing lines up right... but it should, shouldn't it? LOL

 

06 is not out yet, isn't it?
