Default Made a Mistake?

Ok today I bought a new Gt bumper and Grille for my v6, but it didn't come with bolts.............what else will I have to have to put this together other than bolts?..............Did I make a mistake?...........I got the bumper (which is already the same color as the car) the grille and fog lights for $225 dollars.......deal or no deal?

And yeah, $225 for the bumpers is a great deal.

Reuse all the nuts and bolts that you take off. No need to buy replacements, unless you break some of the plastic retainers.

for the front bumper you dont need anything else, slap the grille in teh bumper, then reuse all factory hardware. The only thing you will need is to go get some front half of the fender liners...they are diffrent from the V6 to the GT.

Actualy u will need 4 small bolts and nuts to replace the marker light assembly as u will have to break or drill out the factory rivets.

3/16 pop rivets work really nice and you never have to worry about them backing out.

It makes the install look cleaner. There's also a deflector shield on the bottom that the V6 doesn't have. Some peole install it and some dont. I have mine on, I think it helps prevent flex in the facia, plus delfect air up to the radiator.
