if you have black car, skip the side skirts, it will look the same without them. the GT500 skirts are basically like the V-6 skirts, they are a black plastic material...and yes, the GT hood will work with the GT-500 bumper. look a the post in talk, Pics of your ride, next to the last page, someone has already pulled this off, twice and it looks damn good. but they didn't use the rear bumper cover...good luck
