I'm working on getting back to everyone. Best bet is to PM me. As far as the phone, we are a business and our hours are 8am-430pm M-F. EST.

Don't get too disappointed, I enough parts to put together another set.

I know the bumper is black and looks okay in the pic but I need to make it clear that you will NOT be happy just putting it on your car as the paint is scratched and marred in a few places. Maybe you can rub them out... maybe not. I'm selling it as needing to be repainted but in otherwise excellent condition. If you buy a brand new bumper from Ford, you have to paint it. I don't want anyone disappointed when they get the bumper so I'm trying to make the condition clear.



With regard to greyhound, I do have an account with them. If this were ONLY the bumper Id go ahead and use them. By the time we ship the bumper Greyhound for say $70, Id have another $50-90 in UPS for all the other pieces. I'm not really comfortable assembling the bumper and then sending it greyhound because they are bit rough on the merchandise.... Ill see what I can do maybe it would work and I could just send the headlamps UPS or something. Either way you guys have me thinking.... Ill see what I can do.

Go freight through a company like R+L , its like around 100 if u put it on a half or full pallett .

It costs a fortune to send freight to a residential address. We already have a contract with YRC and we get substantial discounts... still... the up-charge for residential is killer. Also, because of how this is classified it costs more. (class 175) It only ends up weighing 35lbs or so... they put it in a goofy loose parts category that raises the cost quite a bit. I just sent a bumper and two fenders to Philadelphia to a commercial address with a loading dock and it was $140. It will only be more expensive than that for anyone else on here.

I've been giving quotes all morning for Greyhound. Its running about $90 for pickup at the local station and $140 direct to the buyers house.

We don't make money off shipping fees... I'm just passing the cost along. A 24x24x74 box costs almost $10 just for the box. I have to pass that on regardless. If I then use a pallet I need to charge you for that too.

Either way Greyhound is looking good for most people.

Do you have the stock hood? The stock GT hood actually works pretty well with the GT500 front cover. It's the other way around that doesn't work so well.

If I had the coin I wouldn't let my stock hood stop me from getting this. That'd be something I'd add later and I'd be ok with that for sure.

The forward halves of the fender liners are different. They're 7R3Z numbers as opposed to 5R3Z, and they are needed. I tried to make my '05 fender liners work, but they don't. You can "make" the work, but it looks ghetto.

And the 14290 harness isn't needed.

This is a great deal for this stuff.

Can anyone confirm this? I'm about to buy a set from him..

It just depends on if you want to modify yours, or do it the right way. And I'm not saying that modifying yours won't work fine. I'm just saying, the liners are different, so if you want it all to fit like it should, you'll need the correct liners.

I would want it done right,how much would the other fender lines run?

OP,are u willing to sell me everything but the incorrect fender lines?

OP doesn't have the fender liners with this kit, 19COBRA93 is saying that your stock GT fender liners are the incorrect ones.
