Roush Front bumper
I was on ebay looking at bumpers that were close enoguh that i could drive and get.
I never really looked into geting a roush, i have a 2006 v6 that already has dual exhaust and a GT rear bumper so for now the rear in staying.
But basically what would i need to make this bumper work on my v6
even though i mgiht regert posting the ebay link, itll be easier for me to post the link and let you guys tell me if i get it for under 300 if its a good buy.
I know i will need to paint it but what else will i need?

That doesn't really look "new" as the buyer describes and it doesn't even have the fog lights. Although, if you can get it for under $300 it would be a good deal (I paid $750 for a new one painted and shipped).
You'll need GT inner fender wells for the front tires, the foam piece in back of the bumper, a GT grille and one piece that but I can't remember what its called. Do a search, there are a bunch of threads that list the parts along with the numbers. I bought all the parts of rockauto for a little over $50.

if you can find a roush bumper with fog lights that would be great also you will need a gt grill of your choice because the v6 grill is slightly smaller than a gt one. But again like jpormen said be sure it already has the lower foglights. I ended up getting mine for 600 unpainted.

It does not have the fogs, would the fogs cost alot? I know i could find a grill for pretty cheap the bumper foam and fender wells shouldnt be to much. But do you think the fogs will cost alot i know i will need a harness and switch.
And i always install the fogs but wait till later to hook them up lol

I installed one of these facias on my "v6", with foglights.
If it ONLY is the facia, it's not such a good deal IMO.
Here's what all you need to mount it and use it properly (including some of what others have posted):
- on the bottom, there is a black plastic bolt-on piece that runs the full width of the facia, and attaches to the bottom. This is CRITICAL for mounting and for firming up the bottom. Without it, the facia would flex and distort when installed.
- connecting to the above piece, you need a standard under-car radiator cover as provided stock on GT's.
- for the fender liners, the V6 liner is different from the Gt liner. The proper install is to obtain the front-half fender liners for a GT. You can also make fill-in pieces to secure the V6 liner to the roush facia. With a GT liner, the facia connects directly to it. (The fender liners are 2-piece halves in the wheel wells, a front and back piece; you just need the front half, for each side).
- the foam bumper support (under the facia) is made of 2 pieces, one bolts to the front of the bumper support (this is the same on GT/V6), and the other top piece interlocks with it to sit on top the bumper support. The V6 piece is a little thicker than the GT piece. You can either obtain the GT one or simply trim down the V6 piece you have. It's like a styrafoam piece, about a foot ling or so; there's a raised edge on the V6 one, and that raised thickness is not present on the GT one, so you can trim off that 1/2-1" and make it the same height as where it interlocks up front, and it's the right thickness.
- foglights, really make it nice. w/o them, the facia just isn't the same.
- the facia also comes with grill-like inserts for the smaller 4 vents (the smaller one on each side of the middle, and the 2 side vents). W/o those inserts, you'll have to provide something, it leave it open (ghetto).
- front grill: you'll need one. The v6 grill will not fit. Any GT grill will work. I'm using an 11-bar billet grill I obtained from MossMuscle.com.
- for foglight wiring, check other threads. I've posted details on how to do it, etc. I used a stock GT headlight switch (to make it OEM-like inside, and it only allows the fogs to be on if the parking lights or regular lights are on). You'll need a relay for the BEC, fuse, and some wiring mods to make it all work. If the foglights do not have the wiring connectors, I have a set of connectors I'm selling.
As far as mounting otherwise, it bolts in place of the stock facia very easily, using only the stock 6 bolts/nuts to hold it in place, except for the pieces I mentioned for properly securing it underneath.
Feel free to PM me or post here for additional questions.

Thanks for the info tx_stang very helpful. I emialed the seller nad asked if he would send a photo of the back bumper, if he does ill post the pic. and let you guys deside if its a good buy, as for the damage, he says its just scufs and scratches, which if thats the case it doesnt matter reall bc it will be geitng prepped nad painted.
Grill: as for the grill ive seen alot of grills around 100-150 that arnt bad looking so geitng a grill shouldnt be an issue.
Paint: as for paint im wanting to buy the bumper, flush louvers, and possibly side skirts or hood so i would have multiple parts to have painted at once.
I found these on the roush site, are these what i would need for the sides of the bumper.

And as to the fog lights as long as i get them installed, even if it takes me a couple weeks or months to get the harness thats fine with me.
I literally just started looking for bumpers on my lunchbreak today and seen this one on ebay and it seemed like a good deal, but if its going to cost me more in the long run ill jsut wait and buy it brand new or a differnt bumper.

Roush is good at selling install parts. I would go check out their site. http://www.roushperformance.com/
There are too many individual parts on there to list.
If you don't want the fog lights, I believe you can get covers for it, also it's missing the side vent covers. You'll have to buy those too. The chin spoiler is optional additional part.
Looks like it's been in storage for some time. Prep work is still going to be required for painting, but hopefully no gashes or gouges. $235 seems to be a fair deal. I got my front fascias with chin spoiler from stage 3 motorsports for around $800.
