Default New Front End

So I've started eyeballing this new front end:

http://www.americanmuscle.com/csboss...og-1012gt.html

It says its meant to fit the GT's, but I'm curious. Will it fit the V6? I don't see why not other than the fog lights on it. I have a 2012 V6 and I'd love to have this on my front end, but I'm not sure if it'll work. Thoughts?

it may not work, if you read it says at one point "The new fog lights simply plugin to your existing grille mounted fog lights"

because you do not have fog lights it may not work, now if it does manage to fit, idk where you would put the wiring to hide it since you cant plug it in, and obviously the fog lights would then be for looks only

you need to pick up a factory takeoff GT front bumper
the GT and v6 are different bumpers, what your looking at attaches to the GT bumper

This thread, came in quite useful for me too.
That Front end is a lot cheaper than I thought, painted too.

Time to start looking around, probably cheaper everywhere else.

"Aggressive CS/BOSS Styling. Add the aggressive race inspired styling of the GT California Special edition and the new 2012 Boss 302 to your Pony with a genuine Ford Boss 302/CS lower front fascia. Now your Coyote powered GT's front end can have the same stylish looks as the California Edition GT or 302 BOSS with this genuine Ford part.

Fog Lights Included. This genuine OEM Ford part replaces your GT's factory lower front fascia and includes two fog lights with wiring harness for increased night driving visibility. The new fog lights simply plugin to your existing grille mounted fog lights for a painless installation.

Quality Construction. Made from OEM quality high pressure injection molded thermal plastic for it's long lasting durability, this lower fascia features an OEM grained texture to increase longevity against rock impacts from daily driving.

Application. The BOSS/CS Style lower front fascia with fog lights is designed to be a direct fit upgrade for the 2010 to 2012 GT Mustangs. Will not fit Shelby GT500 or V6 models."

Copied and pasted from the link.


Looks like you will need to purchase a GT Front bumper and Grill on order for that to work for you, also will need to get an aftermarket fog light harness and switch.
