Default New Bumper and pictures (Lots!!)

So ive been gathering my parts for months now and i finally have everything to complete my GT front bumper cover swap.

I installed the wiring harness last saturday it was real easy, i got it off ebay for about $80 and its very good..the fogs go off when you turn off the engine and when you put your brights on etc...

Anyway, i put her up on Jack Stands, took off the wheels to get easier access to the screws and fender liners. I also swapped out my stock orange corners for clear corners for that real clean look. it took me about 3 hours total with a coffee break in between. It was very easy and lots of fun to do.

I'd like to thank Spartan VI for his HOW TO INSTALL GT BUMPER post..i read it about 20 times before i installed it.

Heres Before:



Here she is after i removed her face...i used a compressor and blower on the actual metal bumper to get the dust off so she has a nice clean front end!

You can see my dads stang here


And heres her new face!


Im keeping my front plate in my glove box at the moment...really dont want to put it on


You can see my little brother dusting it off for me..he was real helpful, getting tools for me and helping me when i needed another pair of hands so id like to thank him!

Just in case your wandering, the yellow Quad is his, its a Suzuki LTZ 250 and the bike is my older brothers- Suzuki GSXR 600.

If anyone has any questions about parts or how to install it let me know im more than happy to help!

looks good i've been debating on what to do with the front end of my car i have a 3dcarbon grille and it looks good but not a fan of the v6 bumper just not sure what to do with it. otherwise car is looking good the gt front with foglights looks the best in white i think. Huge improvement

Nice job! The clear corners are what makes it really look good IMO

Wow looks really good! I plan to do the GT front bumper install too. I have the foam isolator, fender liners, and radiator shield so far. Any other little screws I'll need?

Btw...some white rocker panels would make it look better too.

You will need 8 screws and 3 clip things...these are for the radiator deflector sheild under the car. the clips clip into a crossmember under the car so you have a threaded hole to screw into....real easy once you see it from underneith

the 8 Screws you will need are N801169 – S900 Im pretty shure i needed 7 but id get 8 just to be safe.

The 3 clips you need are W705992 – S441
i got these from

https://www.tituswillfordparts.com/o...s_catalog.html

go to the Search Multiple parts icon and type the numbers in there.

I want the GT rockers but im going to wait till christmas i think

If you have any more questions let me know, i was really confused when i was trying to order all the parts so if your in my situation, id love to help
