Default Gt Grille on a V6

I am new to the mustang modding world. I was wondering if you could do this. I understand that this has been done due to I know this picture is a V6 I just want to know what all will go into doing this and if there is a kit that can be found that has everything in it. Thanks for the help

you have to install the GT front bumper to use the GT grilles.

negative, you have to cut the foam piece behind the bumper if I remember right.

Incorrect. The foam on the back is for GT's and V6's



You will have to change out the GT bumper but that is easy. Here is a link to when I changed my V6 to California Special front end.

You'll also need a wiring/ switch kit (if your car didn't come from the factory with fog lights) if you decide to install fog lights. We have an OE-Style kit that uses a factory headlight/ fog light switch if you are interested in an OEM look. The switch also activates the auto headlamps feature on the vehicle. You can read more here:
