Default GT front bumper directly from Ford?

Anyone know the cost and if you can get them pre-painted?

Why would you want from Ford it would be ungodly expensive.

I've had no complaints using them. Avoid the stealership at all costs

If anything, you could get it painted at the dealership. But I'm willing to bet they will try to shaft you on that itself if they can.

Order online, anywhere will charge less than the dealers, but be choosy about where you get it painted IMO. That is a very visual-centric part and I wouldn't let just any shop do it for me, especially considering your car's very unique color.

Lucky me my dad knows 2 people who own shops where they do pinstriping and restoring classic cars. Also lucky because the dealership we go to has some very nice managers and hard working employees. One of my dads friends owns a business called Barnett pinstriping, they are the ones who did the side pieces. My dealership is the one who painted my rear valance. They also have repainted my hood 2 times already for corrosion and fixing to do it again. For compensation of my problem with corrosion each time they clear coat the underside of the hood for me in which most cases the factory doesn't do.

NICE! Sounds like you got the hook up, but I didn't know the corrosion problem went all the way to the 2010+ models... That kinda sucks.

Haha...yep! It sucks that there is no way to fix it other than buying a new hood.
