He lists the starting price for just the front bumper at 350 dollars on ebay. That's not a 'buy it now' price, but I'm sure if you call him he will tell you how much it would be for what you need. It just bought the full kit last week and am waiting on it arriving. He seemed to be helpful on the phone though. The number is on his ebay listings.

bumpers.com has only the front, they are on ebay, and are cheaper.

Bumpers .com is indeed cheaper, but that is just the bumper cover with no grille and fogs which means you'd then have the added cost of acquiring that from somewhere else. I see what you mean about there being no casco auctions right now for just the front bumper. Usually there is. However, there are no whell and tire package auctions up either but when I spoke to him the other day he asked me if I wanted them also. I'd just give Mike at Casco a call and see if he can help you out. Also, if you get your bumper, you will need some extra conversion parts which you can get from 05stangkc here on the forums for around 100 - 150 dollars. His name is Kevin and he is very helpful and shipped my parts the next day. Good luck finding a bumper. Let us know!

You need extra parts to switch out the front bumper of a v6 and the front bumper of a GT?

I have an 05 Sonic Blue GT front bumper w/ grille and fogs I ordered from CASCO and never installed (still in box)... I sold my V6 and bought a GT before the bumper arrived... The box has been sitting in my garage taking up space... I will sell it to you for a great price if you're interested... PM me if you want to discuss....

The GT bumper and grill will fit a V6 using all the same attachment points... The only other parts you may want to replace, but aren't necessary are the two front inner wheel well liners ... There will be a small gap between the new bumper and the bottom front of each wheel well liner due to the differences in the shape of the GT bumper...

Do not forget the Valence between the bottom edge of the bumper cover and the bottom of the radiator core support, it channels air and firms up the lower edge of the bumper.
