Default Front End

Alright. Since this got deleted when the site went down......


This is what I'm planning on doing to my car:




or maybe getting some fogs down low like this:






So.. in order to do so I need:

- A GT/CS front fascia
- A Ford Bullitt grille
- And whatever i need for the fog lights...

So what do i need to put this gt/cs bumper on my V6?

I tried searching but it gave me this wierd error. If someone can link me to the parts i need that would be fantastic.


What do you guys think about how this looks?




P.S. and I would put a pony tri-bar emblem on the left side of the grille

i think all you would need would be the foam inserts inside to give the gt cs bumper the lift it needs to look right... the v6 bumber slopes off a bit more... other than that youll need the fender liners to make it look like it came factory otherwise youll have little gaps at the bottom

thats all i can think of... everything else transfers from the sixxer front end.. the signal lights and holders, the radiator cover, all screws etc...

good luck.. it looks really good...id def go the tri bar and leave out the lights... im kinda iffy on those...

I'm putting the GT Bumper on my V6 so I assume the GT/CS would use the same parts...

Here's what you need:

- Radiator Shield

- Driver Side Fender Liner

- Passenger Side Fender Liner

- Foam Isolator

- 8 Screws (2 packs) Part # N801169-S900

- 4 Nuts (1 pack) Part # W705992-S441

If you plan on adding side skirts also you will need:

- 16 Pins (4 packs) Part # W710532-S300

I'll try to find the Part #'s for the shield, liners, and isolator.

You really dont need any extra screws if you are careful at taking them out (I bought the ones from the list above and returned all mine after I didnt use any..)

You dont need the radiator sheild as well.. its optional. I dont have one and I have had no issues.

tell me again why you need 8 screws and 4 nuts? and the radiator cover?

i did this conversion and unless the grill is different than a stock gt grill you wont need screws for anything else.... you can reuse the old ones... same with the four nuts you pull off from underneath the car. i got this swap down to 5 min flat with using the old parts. I had to change a lot for autoX b/w the stock and the gt front end so i wouldnt mess it up.

the liners yes.. you will need those and the foam inserts. the rest... im not so sure

So I need these parts for sure...

- Driver Side Fender Liner

- Passenger Side Fender Liner

- Foam Inserts

- 16 Pins (4 packs) Part # W710532-S300

^or can i reuse my pins/screws from my original v6 rockers when installing the gt rockers?


And so i can use the stock v6 radiator cover and all the screws, if i read correctly.



Now where do i buy these parts?

I just bought all the parts to be sure, but these guys may be right. You might not need the extra screws or the radiator cover. I'm not sure about reusing the V6 rocker panel pins but I hope you can because they charged me $55 for all 16 pins($3.96 per pin, what a rip). I bought the fender liners and isolator from fordparts.com and the screws and pins from my local Ford dealership parts department.
