Default Saleen Bumper on a V6! Different energy absorber foam needed?

I recently just upgraded to the Saleen PJ front end but wasn't sure if I had to replace the energy absorber foam behind it from my stock v6 since the bumper is pushed out a bit from the center, making a gap under the headlights that gets bigger towards the center of the car, as well as not allowing the splitter to fully attach to the light

Anyone know?

yEP, YOU NEED THE gt FOAM.
bUT THE v6 FOAM CAN BE TRIMMED TO gt SPECS
IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING...

fricken caps lock

The 'pushing out' is from the foam that needs to be trimmed...
And the front inner fender well liners need to be of the GT variety...
