The same turn signal light assemblies are used except you have to get a different mounting bracket. The mounting bracket then rivets to the bumper cover.

The turn signals are the same (the turn signal brackets are the same as well), headlights are diff. need some new rivots though to attach them to the bumper

2l8iwon, thanks for the write-up, I printed your pics out so I can do my GT/CS front and rear bumpers this weekend. They're finally back from the painter, and I'll be putting them on tomorrow.

Yippee!

Its funny but that is the best mod I've seen on a GT. You did a excellent job combining the hood and front bumper. This will be the next mod I do on my 05 GT with stock hood with shaker. OUTSTANDING!!

Ohhhh trust me bro, I can imagine. Hell the other day I had the Hummer in the drive partially blocking the garage. I was cleaning my windshield in preperation for a Mustang hangout night and some dude driving down my street saw the bumper, slammed his brakes and came back to the house and wanted the check out hte "Shelby"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha
