bought a gt500 front end

bought a 07 gt500 front end to start my conversion. I need to know what else I need to make this complete. the bumper came with the fogs upper and lower grills and the turns along with the impact foam to absorb the shock. I know I need the head lights, the inner fender linings and chin spoiler. what else do I need. any help appreciated....

Seems like you have all the necessary components with the exception of the GT500 hood..

IIRC I don't think the hood from a stock GT would line up properly with the GT500 front clip assembly, but I don't know that for sure though

Based on what I've read here over the years, it sounds like you have it all minus head lights.

As for the hood, you can stick with the gt hood, but the lines in the hood will not line up with the uprights surrounding the GT500 grill area. I remember seeing a car on here that kept the gt hood. It didn't look bad, it just looked off/funny.

Also we want to see pics when you get this going.

I was actually going to look into putting a GT500 hood on my 2006 GT, but keep the stock GT grille/front valance, however from my understanding the creases from a GT500 hood will not line up with the uprights at all.. Therefore I'd also have to switch out the stock GT front grille/bumper for the GT500 front valance/grille assembly in order for everything to fit and line up properly
