Smile BUMPER Installed!!!!!!!!

So ive been gathering my parts for months now and i finally have everything to complete my GT front bumper cover swap.

I installed the wiring harness last saturday it was real easy, i got it off ebay for about $80 and its very good..the fogs go off when you turn off the engine and when you put your brights on etc...

Anyway, i put her up on Jack Stands, took off the wheels to get easier access to the screws and fender liners. I also swapped out my stock orange corners for clear corners for that real clean look. it took me about 3 hours total with a coffee break in between. It was very easy and lots of fun to do.

I'd like to thank Spartan VI for his HOW TO INSTALL GT BUMPER post..i read it about 20 times before i installed it.

Heres Before:



Here she is after i removed her face...i used a compressor and blower on the actual metal bumper to get the dust off so she has a nice clean front end!

You can see my dads stang here...and after seeing my tinted windows in the garage, he wants his done!!!


And heres her new face!


Im keeping my front plate in my glove box at the moment...really dont want to put it on


You can see my little brother dusting it off for me..he was real helpful, getting tools for me and helping me when i needed another pair of hands so id like to thank him!

Just in case your wandering, the yellow Quad is his, its a Suzuki LTZ 250 and the bike is my older brothers- Suzuki GSXR 600.

If anyone has any questions about parts or how to install it let me know im more than happy to help!

I like the fogs. But, is there a difference in the GT and V6 bumper? I can't really see much of difference...

Thanks!
The V6 bumper is curved under and the GT comes straight down..all in all i think it looks a lot better.

As for the front plate, i see corvettes with no front plate all the time

Oh yes, it looks beautiful. I get it's a bit subtle since I'm not a mustang owner yet. I love the fogs too.

thats because they're lucky and have millions of dollars but it is the law and you must have it on.

in no way am i telling you to put it on, or am i a fan of front plates, just some info to share.

it looks really clean. so are you in socal, norcal, or midcal?
