Default GT vs v6 Front Bumper question

So here is the deal, I found a 2005 take off pre-painted gt bumper to replace my old v6 bumper. The only difference is the splitter at the bottom of the gt bumper I want to know what I have to do to use the v6 grille with this new bumper. I don't want to convert it to a GT with dual foglights.

I only bought the pre-painted GT bumper fix it. When I let someone use my car for the day, they pulled to far forward on a sidewalk and as they backed up they dragged the bumper. I hate seeing it like that!

So I bought a 2005 pre-painted take off GT bumper for $300.00 local vs paying $214.99 for a new v6 bumper and $400.00 for a 72x19x21 bumper just to be painted.

The thing is I don't want to convert the appearance of the car to a GT. I just need to fix the bumper ASAP

7/32 socket
10mm Socket with extension
Screwdriver
Blanket

All that is holding me back is figuring out how to keep the v6 appearance with the new pre-painted gt bumper.

I have included an image comparison to show the bottom section

If you have a 2005-10 you can't keep the V6 look with the GT front bumper. The grilles are different sizes and don't swap - a GT bumper requires a GT grille.

For some reason your picture won't display for me.
