lol yeah... plus i think the CS is a lot more unique. I mean think about it. How many sixxers on here do you see with a CS bumper and how many do you see with a GT bumper?

I used to have the CS front but now went to the Cobra...
You don't need the GT the absorber (foam) either.
The V6 has a little piece on the top (foot long) that I took off for the CS installation.
To save a few bucks, I made 2 little piece to fill up the gap by the fender liners. Out of a Honda civic lol.

you dont NEED to buy anything.. i would say get the foam liner or at least fill the gap with about a 1/4 inch of something that should do it... the liners you can do what pascal did but if you wnat to show the car at meets id go ahead and buy the gt liners just to make sure the judges cant say anything

Yomo,

I got your PM but your inbox is full. Apparently you don't NEED the foam isolator, but it's good to have. Just to keep everything in line and upright. Anyway, it's $8.77 on fordparts.com

Actually, the first 07 GT/CS had those 2 little extensions until Ford made the liner for it.

What I bought was the bumper and grille.
The GT lower spash shield (square looking).
The CS lower filler shield (goes all the way across the bottom of the bumper).

That was it.

Sure is.

I wouldn't know about the parts...
I deal with the Ford dealer only, since there isn't aftermarket on Ford bumpers.

Here's a pic of the absorber difference between GT and V6.
Very subtle.
I took that piece out when I put my CS cover.
You can also live it and shave the excess. Your choice.
