yeah the only thing different is the bumpers really depending on year. newer ones have a different hood i believe, a spoiler and larger wheels as well?

Yes they are, the only difference is that the GT fenders have guide holes for the GT emblems. The V6 fenders do NOT have any holes. Every body panel is interchangeable. The GT bumpers will fit on the V6, etc.

yes, but you also need to note that you may require other parts to make them fit. for example, the front fender splash shields need to be replaced to properly mount up the GT bumper. If you have all the parts needed for the swap, you can do it. its not always as simple as a bumper swap.

Thanks for the info. I found a gt hood and it went on easy. I am thinking of the pernelli jones bumper. Any thoughts on this. We bought the car wrecked and are fixing it up as a gt, sort of. It will still have the 4.0. The inside is perfect and has the optional gage cluster and the optional chrome on the dash and the info center, and the shaker 500 stereo. It is a reallly nice car. It has black wheels, don't know what brand they are.

Well, maybe he didn't want to have to drill into his hood. Not to mention the hood scoop was a factory piece and it was OEM paint.
