You cannot do the swap with out the fender wells, there is a bulge in the GT ones that clears the bunper, u may be able to cut the v6, but thats not a good idea. And styrofoam is already on your car, but it has a bump about 1/4 in high to support the v6 bumper, i used a razor blade and cut it off then sanded down the rest to make it smooth. Finally it hit it with some spray paint, to seal it.
The fenders are not too bad i paid 39 for LF and 35 for RF. Its better to do things right the first time.
