GT Bumper and Fogs: My Experience
#21
There also are some bolts and fasteners needed, and I got a few extra of the plastic push fasteners because I was afraid I'd break some of the old ones getting them off. But these don't cost much. See the URL to the sticky that I posted when I started this thread. The initial post was reedited several times as members contributed info, and it's pretty reliable. Read this thread first. Just about all of your questions about parts and install are there. My point here was not to go over the install, but just to give everyone a heads up about cost. You'll have decide if it's worth it to you to spend $700-800 on this mod. I would have made a different decision myself.
Here's the parts list I used from the thread:

Yep, he's right aobut the foam piece. That can just be trimmed. You do need the fender liners and stone deflector, and those parts were about $150 all together at the dealer. (I know, total ripoff for 3 pieces of molded plastic.) If anyone has a URL to a parts co. who will sell them at a big discount, that would be a great service to everyone. I found small discounts online, but then you have to factor shipping and time. I just clenched my teeth and picked them up at my dealer, who had all the parts in stock.

So, I'll just stand by my original claim here. Unless a guy has a Pony Package V6, I don't see how it is possible to do this mod (bumper cover, grill, splash guards, wiring harnass, switch) for less than about $730. Factor in some more if you do the stone deflector and need to order the screws and inserts.
My intention here is that we give the most accurate information we can on this thread so that everyone knows ahead of time what they are getting into. The NTO video makes it look like a simple $399 job. It's really a $750 job that requires some time and planning to round up what's needed.

this is a simple mod with tons of threads about it on here over the past 3 years ive been on here.
anyway, glad you got the parts you wanted, even if it was alittle more than you thought it would cost.

I can't vouch for any of these vendors because I got mine from the dealer. It looks like you can save about 50 bucks by ordering here, though.

So basically I just need the fender liners and optional stone guard, re-rivot the parking light brackets (only for factory GT front I assume?) and I can upgrade to any 2010 aftermarket GT front end? Like the street scene for GT?
Also does changing the fascia then allow the use of the GT/aftermarket made for GT hoods as well?
