Default Front End Rebuild

Alright guys my front is messed up so im rebuilding, everyone has been helpful on this forum before so lets keep it that way

Damages: Hood, front bumper, front grille, Black plastic under hood in engine bay, left headlight

Looking to buy: Trufiber 3inch Cowl Hood, GT front bumper, left headlight, smoked quarter lights, and grille accessories

I need some advice for this rebuild. One direction question I have is about the grille. Do I need a GT/CS grille surround for the front gt bumper if i get this saleen grille:

I don't think so. But I could be wrong.

To be exactly sure, cal AM and ask them. They are very knowledgeable of everything they sell.

I just though of another mod: A cow catcher!

If it works for trains, it is sure to work for you to deflect any deer you happen to freeze in your headlights while going 45MPH +! LOL

Anyway, when you do get the parts in and installed, I do want o see how it does come all together too, so dont forget to post those pics or else!

Edit: I am going to purchase the following parts-

GT Front Bumper, 2.5" Cervini's Cowl Hood, Saleen Grille, Tinted Side Makers(front and Back), and a mattle black super snake style stripe.

The only thing that will need to be painted is the hood, some other parts will be needed also such as the left (drivers side) headlight, the black panel in front of the engine bay (under hood), and a couple small parts underneath the bumper on the drivers side.

I am not going to the shop to have this done, i am going to show the estimate to the insurance company so they can write me a 1900 dollar check. I found a professional who lives next to my aunt who works for Hendrick Motor Sports and he says he can install and paint the parts! He can also get the headlight and other needed oem parts too. Next Update will be pictures of the items as they arrive then once they are on the car!
