Glad she is okay.

You will need a GT bumper, GT fender inner fender shields (not mandatory, but without it you'll have a gap on your inner fenders), new upper and lower GT specific grilles.

It is an extremely simple swap and really changes the look of the car.

You may also want a new foam isolater and the rock deflector that our v6s didn't come with. It is a very easy swap.

if its a 05-09...

i've done this 3 times on my car...

you dont need the foam isolator whatsoever...
I've been driving my car without the bottom radiator shield for 4 years with no problems...

you do need the inner splash guards for the front fenders... this is really a 45 minute job.... nothing to it...

also, i bought a painted fender off of ebay... and have won 3 car shows since with it... food for thought

you need the deflector for proper cooling system operation...
and the foam for the next deer smoking incident...

Lower radiator shield (I guess that's what 157 meant)...
It attaches to the lower part of the bumper (4 screws) so nothing flaps around and tear up.
Since you need GT grilles, it means that you will need fog lights as well unless you want to go with the expensive Bullit grille, which is cool too.
