GT front facia Conversion to GT500?

[FnSweet06]

idea's been bouncing up and dwn the idea in my head about doing the front end in a GT500 for my 06' GT. Guys that have done it how hard is it? Are all that i need to do is replace is the front bumber, headlights and hood? The side panels should work, right?

And is there any sites that are recomened to buy these parts from at a reasonable price.

thanks!

the GT side panesl should work right, just headlights and bumper are needed to be replaced?

I got the inside panels. I dont think the GT ones would have fit.

dont forget the grills


Cost me $1200 for the parts and about $400 to paint my bumper, chin spoiler, and mirrors. Look at my avatar

Definately well worth the money and effort. The front end looks much better

shit your lucky as hell dex the kit went up to around 1600 and i could never get it painted for 400 down here with these rip offs lol and yea the link don sent you to was the guy i was talking about .....

lol must be nice i got no1 in the shop who can get me the parts cheap and i got joe bob doing paint for 1000+ lol

before i remembered his son painting I asked around and asked a body shop that has fixed a few of my family's cars due to people hitting us and they quoted me just under $300 for the bumper I think. Remember I also got my chin spoiler and mirrors done. But thats still not bad. I would ask around. Call your local ford dealer

ya been doing little bit of research and ya wow these kits are all around 1200-1800.

Think im just gonna wait around till i come upon a good deal, hopefully a wrecked GT500 with a perfect front end will come around my way lol

the job is not hard at all it all took about three hours to do it on my own...would have been faster if i had friends!!!... but i dont so..
the main things are
1.)the bumper
2.)the headlights
3.)the headlight brackets
4.)the blinkers
5.)the fog lights
6.)the upper and lower grill
7.)the front spoiler
8.)the bolts for the front spoiler (i think you need like 10 of them)
i might have forgoten a few things like the bolts that you need to buy but the answer to your question is no it's not hard it's easy and having everything in front of you you should need no more than 4 hours and dont pay anyone to do the job ...save your money
it's easy
