V8 goodies on a v6?
Before I start I'd like everyone to know ahead of time that I'm a GT owner and making this post to see what other GT owners think. I was wonder what you all thought about V6 mustangs that use the V8 bumpers, emblems, and etc. Also does this also extend to V6 mustangs sporting bumpers from cobras, roushs, gt500's, and Eleanor mustang bumpers?

With the exception of emblems, grille, fogs, a subtlety different front bumper, and upgraded items like brakes and wheels, it's basically the same shlt. (Aesthetically)
As far as cars sporting "GT" equipment, Ford purposely manufactured their parts to be easily interchanged between the two. This allows them to create many different cars with buyer chosen options. All this to raise price point and increase sales.
As far as "GT equipment"
Example: some late model performance package V6s come with GT CS wheels. In 2003-04, the GT hood scoop became standard on V6 models. In addition, the 01 COBRA wheels were introduced as options for not only GTs but V6s also.
What then?

Aesthetically speaking: The spoilers, seats, rockers, body, 10-12 hoods, tail lights, rear valences (10 GT and 11 V6) back panels, trim, are basically the same.

The only thing that is dumb imo, is the emblems. Otherwise, who cares. What's the difference in doing that vs body kits? If it looks good, it shouldn't matter.
