Default V6 Body Work

Hey guys,

I've had my '07 V6 pony packagefor over a year now and I'm lookin to do some body work. I want to replace the front and rear bumper with GT stuff and was wonderin if it all matched up right or if I was gonna have to take it to a body shop and get the work done?

No, you can do it at home with some simple hand tools. It all matches up

I heard it didn't match for a lot of people and for some it does
if it doesn't tho it's easy to make it fit with like two mods...so go ahead and buy it

I heard that for the front bumper you have to buy new wheel well arches and a skid plate type thing and you have to grind down some of the polostyrine on the front end to get it to fit flush.

If you do do it ,remember to take out your parking lights. because that would suck, getting it on there and haveing to take it back off. as for the back bumper i think it likes up pretty well

This is a very popular question...they should make a sticky or something...

For the front: You need Left and Right GT fender liners, GT radiator shield(not entirely necessary), and a GT foam isolator(or shave down the V6 one).

Nothing for the rear.

The GT Front Bumper is much easier to install thanthe rear bumper but both each took me about 4 5 hours per day
