2011 V6 New Front End
Howdy all! first time poster, somewhat new to the forums. I had a Quick question for you all. I have some curb damage on my brand new mustangs front bumper, 
and I was looking at getting the front bumper replaced. I cant seem to pin down a website for a new v6 front end. Would it be worth it to upgrade to the gt front end? Is that possible? If so, what would I need to do in order to install it? Many thanks in advance!

Much appreciated! Would it be worth it upgrading to the Gt model? I believe my color is race red, and it looks like the only option is torch red for the regular V6. I cant seem to find on the car my color code! So, im not 100% sure. The dealer had it as "Color Red."

If the dealer is calling your color Colorado Red then it is the same color as Torch Red.
They also didn't have Torch Red in 2010 I'm almost positive, or they didn't call it Torch they called it Race Red. I would call them to be sure, but I'm sure its the right color.
IMO, the GT bumper does look better and you have more after-market options with a GT bumper. It all depends on the look you are going for.

There are some scrapes on the Paint/lower plastic. Nothing too deep, but deep enough that I feel it might be cheaper to actually buy a new one and install it myself. I will be calling an auto body shop tomorrow to get a price quote on it. I'm just trying to make sure I get ideas from every angle so I know where to go if the quote is too high
