They're a different shape on the edge where it meets the front bumper. The fender liners on each side are in two halves, front and rear. You only need the two front halves (L&R)

You'll also need new bumper foam inserts and a GT lower splash shield (fits under the radiator, the V6 doesn't have one) to do the job right.

You could probably get away without the bumper foam, but that splash shield connects to the bottom of the GT bumper in the center, it might be prone to wind vibration without it.

im only 21... and i took them off and replaced them by myself ( i did not have to replace anything)... look at that pics i posted awhile back post titled "hambone: here are the pics you requested" the only problem you will run in too is removing the rivets.... just have a drill with drill bits handy and go out and buy nuts and bolts.
