Have been looking at body kits for the past week and I can't seem to find any that I like more than the GT500's front end. (I've found several rear bumpers and hoods that would suit my taste).
Anyone know of a place that I can get the GT500 conversion kit for the front end only? I had seen it advertised as the "Cobra R" front end in a magazine ad but can't recall which company was selling it.
I'd also assume that I'd need the headlights, hood and grill(s).
Any links would be appreciated.
Sadly, you'll need much more than you planned. Estimate for parts is roughly $1500.
The following list details the parts necessary to perform the GT500 front fascia conversion. When reading this post, realize that your existing Mustang fascia may or may not have fog lights, and you must carefuly investigate any wiring harness issues you may encounter. For this post, it is assumed that you have the Mustang GT with fog lights located in the upper radiator grille.
NOTE 1: The only item needed from the GT500 wiring harness is the female connector for the new fog lights. The necessary female connector may or may not be avaialbe as a separate Ford part. If not, then you’ll need to purchase the GT500 wiring harness and cut off the needed adapter. DO NOT install the GT500 wiring harness, as it does not match all the vehicles connections.
NOTE 2: The front half of the driver and passenger inner wheel well guards are not identical for the GT500 and GT. It may be possible to alter the stock GT wheel well guards to fit the holes on the new GT500 bumper and lower valence. I chose to purchase the GT500 guards since they were approximately $30 combined. If you do not purchase the GT500 trim pieces, and do not alter the stock trim, your valence will be unsecured in this location.
**PM me if you have any questions, perhaps I can help.
