Default 2010 Mustang v6 Front Bumper Surgery, Ideas?

Alright so i have a few minor mods coming up such as weatherproof floor mats and spear hood stripes, but my next major exterior mod is going to be my front bumper.

First off, does a 2010 mustang GT front bumper fit the v6's?

Second, if it does, what is your opinion on this combo:

And if you don't like that, what is your opinion on what i should do to the front? (pics too)

One more thing...I don't want any sort of fog lights on the front and i will probably add eibach sportline springs in the future.

My current grill and bumper can be seen on my signature.

Yes the Bumper will fit, you will also need other parts to mount a grill in it. There is a thread in Appearance about mounting the CS front valance and there is a lot of info in there.

I'm doing the gt/cs swap on my front end. The only thing I have left to source is a method to install my grile. There are different grille surrounds and I bought a saleen grille and am not sure which surround to use. I may just send back the saleen grille and buy a roush grille and use a gt surround

are you talking about the black piece of plastic that surrounds the grille?

I want a billet, but im totally inexperienced when it comes to the front bumper coversion, i read over the gt/cs conversion thread and i saw the saleen grille, but im not sure what i need to make something like that work.

The Saleen Grill mounts to the same points as the GT Grille Surround does, it goes from Head Light to Head Light and needs nothing else but the Grille itself to install (and the Bumper Clips included in the box).
I am using my Pony Package Grille with the GT/CS grille surround.

Awh thats awesome!

So if I have this right, all i need for this conversion is the OEM gt front bumper and the saleen grille? No other parts needed?

You are Correct
I am going the other route with the CS lower Valance and Boss Splitter, I have everything but the Splitter and the Painted Grill surround (I have it just not painted yet).

same with me, I am doing the gt/cs conversion. It cost me a little under $750 after parts. What I bought (thanks to Jimmy and others who helped me make my decision) was the saleen grille, gt front bumper, gt/cs lower fascia. I will be buying the more aggressive boss splitter once it becomes available at my dealership (I get a nice discount on parts there)

Those both sound and look good guys. I thought about the gt/cs but the fogs would be a little expensive for me and i didn't want them since i don't have fogs on my stock car. although i could probably figure the electric work out
