Will V6 bumpers fit a GT without hassle?

[GalaxieWarrior]

I'm trying to make a sleek looking sleeper out of my GT and was wondering how easy it would be to swap bumpers and grills with a torch red V6?

Should be pretty straightforward except for the rear bumper which needs to be cut where the left tailpipe sticks out courtesy of the V6's single exhaust setup.

You'll need the styrofoam bumper backing that's behind the fascia.

Thanks

The V6s have extra foam? Oh and I wont need to cut the rear I dont have rear exit exhaust. (biggest reason for the downgrade)

You will need all the v6 front end pieces. including the grills.

Same headlights right? I know I lose my fog lights. Do I need to swap foam with them also?

Are you doing this because of side exhaust? If so, you might want to consider that the V6 bumper stops noticeably higher than the GT bumper. It really looks funny with the stock GT side skirts, but if you have aftermarket skirts, you really don't want to do it.

Not really side exhaust yet. Kooks headers running through Magnaflow cats then dumping out. I was going to just paint my side skirts like the v6's or see if I could just trade those too. I'm just trying to look like a nice v6. No bling or crazy accessories just mustang.

Anybody with a torch red v6 that wants to look like a v8 lemme know I'll swap/sell it all!

I'm fairly certain you'll need the foam. It's not extra foam, but differenty shaped foam. Call your dealer and ask. It will take a few minuntes to find out for sure. The GT and V6 cars have a different shape to the bumpers which are backed by the foam.

Thanks Anthony. I've already harassed them before for info might as well do it again.

I checked today and it's the same. I got it mixed up with the guys who have been doing the GT500 front end conversion. Sorry
