Rear bumper replacement question

Hi,

Just wondering if a GT bumper will fit my V6. I am putting dual exhaust on my car and like the look of having 2 molded exhaust cutouts. Any suggestions on where to get one would be helpful too!

Thanks!

What's going on '67?

The GT rear fascia is a direct swap to the V-6 cars. You might get lucky and find a take-off cover in the same paint code even! There are a few companies that purchase the take off parts from Saleen, Roush, etc. and resell them. You can get take off GT grilles, wheels, brakes, etc. from these companies...

Just Googled "2005 Mustang take off parts" and got several hits for companies selling such parts.

Ninosport has rear GT covers for $299 (painted)...

Also check with North American tuning (www.northamericantuning.com). They are in Margate and show a used GT rear fascia for $199, but it is Windveil Blue, requiring paint for your car, but you could save big bucks by picking it up yourself (maybe they'll paint and install for you?)...

Good luck with the upgrade...

Thanks Mark, I appreciate the suggestions! I'll look at some of these companies and see what I can find.

Ebay is also a great place to find these parts and generally they are available in many colors. Shopper's paradise!
