Default Billet grill help

Hey all I found a mustang gt front bumper and I'd like to get it but I don't want to buy fogs and all of that so I'm curious will my current bullet grille fit the mustang gt bumper? It replaced my entire old grill, so will that fit the mustang gt bumper or not?

It should, just like your stock grill would, you will just have a gap from GT's slightly larger grill area.

Ahh thank you. any idea how big that gap is? The grille I have now cost around $130 so I'd hate to just have it laying around

No

V6-GT grilles are different and not interchangeable, at least not without a fair share of modification

I'm getting a new grille soon, would you be interested in purchasing my stock GT grill w/ fogs?

Apparently not, I thought with a little lik I wouldn't have to worry about buying and selling a grille but nope.
I've been trying to hunt down a gt500 or gt/cs rear bumper but can't find one anywhere! Where'd you grab yours?

You can usually find used OEM GT grilles pretty cheap. Like in the $50 range

I picked up my GT/CS rear on ebay actually. It was a painted takeoff so I didn't worry about having it painted (has a few blemishes but overall looks ok). Paid $275 shipped through Greyhound. Definitely my favorite rear bumper. The GT500 and GT/CS rear bumpers are the same, so don't be fooled into paying $$$$ for a GT500 rear because of the name. The difference is in the paint job (GT/CS has the lower sides painted, GT500 doesn't)
