GT Front Bumper
If I buy this front bumper will I have everything I need to install it (grill, bolts, etc.) by using stuff from my V6 Bumper?

Or will I need to also order a new grill and other parts? If so what else will I need to order?

I still am planning on it but I'm thinking right now I might just get the GT for a while and when I get the GT500 I will just sell the GT front bumper. I will probably be getting the GT500 fascia around christmas time, but then I have to have it painted, and then I have to wait for the snow to go away (and my car is a DD)... I want something to hold me off for a while lol... I wont have the GT500 Fascia installed for at least 7 months most likely.

Saleen kit will cost like 2k to paint and be too much. Shelby kit will be like a grand cheaper.

I installed a GT front bumper cover, etc. on my V6 & I'm very happy...
You need more than just the bumper cover; you also need the GT grille, the "stone deflector" (5R3Z-17626-BA) which mounts under the radiator and stabilizes the front bumper cover (the V6 doesn't have this part), and you'll need the necessary fasteners (N801169S900 PACK OF EIGHT SCREWS) & (W705992S441 PACK OF FOUR INSERTS). You also need the front fender liners.. & if you want the fog lights to be operational, you'll need a wiring harness for them.
You can simply trim the styrofoam from the V6 bumper (cut off the raised area that says "V6" on it and it's the same as the V8).
Call Kevin @ 1-800-570-5554 - he's an old hand at doing this mod and he'll put your order together for you & you'll have piece of mind knowing it's EVERYTHING you need.. and the price is right too!

You dont NEED the stone deflector or whatever you called it, the bumper is just fine without it but it would be a good thing to have. I havent had one on there and its been a few months.
