Default GT500 front swap

I just looking around on latemodelrestoration.com and I stumbled apon 2010 gt500 front bumper/grilles. This is something I'm considering. I was wondering if anyone has swapped the gt500 front on a 2010 yet??

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...ehicle=Mustang
2010 GT500 bumper cover $309.99
2010 GT500 Upper Grille w/ emblem $329.99
2010 GT500 Lower Grille $199.99
2010 GT500 Lower Chin Spoiler $209.99

total $1049.96 + hood + paint= roughly $1600-+

Yeah I would of liked to go that route, till I saw the parts that needed to be ordered. Then pay for paint on top of that. Yeah NOPE!

I'm actually in the process of doing the GT500 conversion on my 2010 GT right now. I got into an accident and figured this is as good a time as any. I got lucky and found a GT500 hood on craigslist for cheap, but even with that, with parts + labor + paint, your lookin at around 4k...not a cheap ordeal

funny...thats exactly why I have a Saleen front end on my 07. It feels like you are getting a deal when upgrading things that are either worn out or broken.
