Default Install a 2013 style bumper cover on a 05-09 mustang'!!! ???

I want to know how or if it's possible to install a 2013 mustang style bumper cover, such as Cervini's Stalker Front Bumper Cover - Unpainted (10-12 GT, V6), on a 2005-2009 mustang. I have a 2007 v6 mustang and I love how the 2013 bumper and hood are styled. I would to have that on my car. Does anyone have a video or info on how to do this. A website or anything that can help me. How to do the mods or what to purchase!

you'd need the fenders, the hood, the bumper cover, and hardware underneath all of that as well as finding a way to blend the front end with the doors and such.

in other words, without a lot of effort it isn't easily doable

I won't say you can't but you would probably spend so much on body work, etc it wouldn't be worth it.

Just trade it in, there must be a million used v6's out there to choose from.

There is a company that makes a fender kit that allows you to put 2010-12 lights/front bumper on a 2005-2009. I don't know if that also includes the hood, or if it translates to the 2013-14 front end.

One of our members did this swap, but it does require considerable body work to make the fender panels blend. You can't simply swap the bumper by itself; you'll also need the hood, lights, fenders, etc. Here's a picture Phasm took when testing fit (below) where you can see how the 2013 fenders don't align with the rest of the 05 body.



He took an 05 fender and blended it with the 2013+ fender.



Swap complete, just needs paint:

I was going to point out the member that actually did do it (Phasm). That guy also stuck the coyote drivetrain into a 05-09 body.

Anyways, not just a bolt-on item. Takes a lot of fab work so if you're that interested in the 2013-2014 look but don't have the skill set and/or time, just buy a 2013-2014.

In order to make everything truly line up you will need to replace the upper core support with a 2010+ one.
