Help with parts on GT front end

I thought I posted this already but I don't see anything in "my threads" so I'll ask it again, apologies for the repetition.
I just bought a GT front fascia for my 06 V6. It came and I read the thread, from the "how to" forum:
https://mustangforums.com/m_1121391/tm.htm

I am about to take the v6 front end off, but from the thread above it says I need parts - I called the place I got the GT front end from and they say I should have everything I need, no extra fasteners, nothing. They say everything I need is either on the car already. Can someone help me define what I really need to put this on before I take the v6 one off and can't get the GT one on? If there are fasteners that I need, can I get them at a Ford dealership or where can I get any needed parts? I also downloaded the exploded view of the front end and I took off the radiator top cover and from what I can see, I have all the parts that I need but I feel like I'm missing something if the thread above says I need parts.
Help!

RE: Help with parts on GT front end

you need a new bumper isolator (foam behind the bumper) and you especially need new fender covers, because the gt bumper goes lower, and they wont work right.

dont waste your money on the isolator. when you take your V6 bumper off there is a part of the styrofoam that sticks out and says V6. Cut that little block off and smooth it out and that is it.

RE: Help with parts on GT front end

I know, it is the link I included in the original post above. However, the vendor I got the front end from says there is nothing more that I need, and Ford initially said the same thing. The info post says I need all kinds of things, I took the radiator cover off and it appears as though I don't need any fasteners but not sure - hence the post....
