Default installation #1 of GT bumper & Bullitt grill

Hi everybody, installed the GT bumper and Bullitt grill on the Mustang today. Since I can only post 5 pics on each post, I'll put up two posts to cover everything. The end result is subtle, but makes my grandma look even cooler. Let me know what you think. My opinion of this insallation is that it is really pretty simple, except for having to drill out the revits that hold the plastic bracket on the V6 stock bumper that is used to mount the turn signal lenses. Once you get the revits out and remount the brackets on the new GT grill you can reassemble the complete front facia in less than an hour. One just has to reassemble everything exactly how you took it apart. No real special tools needed for the job either. Here's some pics, and be sure to see the #2 post with the other pics. Take care and happy New Years, Jack.

I do like it...no doubt. But it is a VERY subtle change.l I bet 99% of people would not notice the difference.

My wife walked in and asked me why I was shifting between two pics...so I showed her. She watched the before and after pic 5-6 times each and walked away saying I was nuts...that there was no difference.

What's the difference in the V6 and the GT foam piece here:


The look exactly the same.
