Where did you buy all of your parts from if you don't mind me asking? My buddy wants to do the swap

Does your buddy still have that gt500 rear bumper? let me know, cause I am mighty interested

On a side note, if your willing to search craigslist, ebay, several forums and look everyday for a while, you can save big money! I paid $90 for a gt500 front bumper with the splitter, $150 for headlights and foglights together, $120 for the grilles...etc at the end of the day I still spent around 600 + install, I think my total was around $1,100...but it took me for....eve....vrrrrrrr to find all the parts.

Who cares what it cost....the finished product is what it's all about!!

X2! LOL

Seriously, if you could get this done for under $2K, I think that's worth it. For instance, one could nickel and dime a GT/CS front facia, aftermarket grille, fogs, splitter,etc, and I bet they'd still have close to a grand in that upgrade. If one was so inclined to do that, IMO, it be better to go ahead and fork over the extra coin and put on the GT500 set up.

Plus, if your stock stuff is in good condition, you could sell that to recover some of the costs. Just my

Do it man!

For those who care I saw some full front end foose stallion conversions on ebay for like 700 bucks. Including lights grilles and whatever. I just picked a cervini concept hood and c series bumper up for like 500 off a dude on CL, but might have done it otherwise.

I did the chin spoiler and center fog grill set up for a while but the GT500 front end really made the difference on my car

Its worth it man!! Do it. you will be breaking some necks. Try to do the hood as well it flows better with the bumper, and the KR brake bezels gives a nice look. In second thought I have a gt500 bumper with 2 small cracks just collecting dust in my garage. I hit a dog a few months back but I went ahead and replaced it with a new bumper. pm your number and i'll send you some pics maybe we can work out a deal I'll sell it to you for cheap. Shipping would be the killer. My local ford dealership was the best place to buy my bumper cause I saved in shipping.
