I am new to the site, I would like to know if anyone has used one of these bumpers on a v6 and if so what kind of mod did you have to do? body http://www.carparts.com/details/For...239PCn4HVQY0ZpZHuquGpWILiXJUoZbu2OhoCk-vw_wcB

Has anyone try the ebay bumper http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Painted...ash=item4d136b8389:g:lwAAAOSwg1pXMh6r&vxp=mtr

Welcome to StangNet!
I've purchased a couple of EBay front bumpers and you get a decent bumper with a decent fit, but it's not OEM fit. Of course the price difference is huge, so the choice is yours. One of them I bought was pre-painted, and the color and finish were spot on, but the paint was rather thin and next to nothing near the wheel openings. I won't buy one again, but for anyone else it all depends on your budget.
Never bought a V6 bumper but the only difference that I am aware of is the lack of fog / driving light openings. You'd have to cut out the vents on the V6 bumper and there may not be mounting holes for the light housings. I dont think this would come out looking very good...
Best of Luck!
