Default got in a fender bender

Well I had a mod list going and yesterday a guy hit my car while it was parked. No major damage. I will need a new hood grill and bumper.Guess its not too bad, look at the bright side, I can pick out new stuf for my car. Im looking at a mach 1 hood or a cervini ram air hood.

Do I need to get anything special? or can I just buy any hood and have the shop put it on?

Also Im going to get a GT bumper from newtakeoff. Is that all I need? or is there something I need to convert it?

then do I need to get a GT grill? I want a chrome bullet grill but dont know if I need to order the V6 or GT. Im not sure if i want fog lights, prob not.

Another option I was thinking about was buying the grill and bumper combo from new take off and just getting an overlay.

If you get the GT bumper you will need the GT grille, the 6 won't fit, and you will need the dash switch and wiring harness if yours is not the pony pack with grille lights already. If you don't want lights, just get the plain GT grille and the bullet grille mounts to that.

Also, the GT bumper is 2" lower so your lower inner fender screws will not match, so you need GT inner fenders, but you can live without them, I have been with no issues.

GT bumper and Bullit grille is a match and a good combo as well.
Go for it.

where can I find a bullet grille? Everything Im finding goes over your original grille.

Yea IMO overlays don't look good. I don't care for them with a pony cutout but then if you get one without it you can still see the outline where the pony used to be behind the grille. Overlays fail IMO.
