Just for reference, I paid a little over $2,000 for parts for the front end swap that I got from KC...but then again, I had him throw in a few extra gizmos for me, but if it wasn't for that, it would have only been about $1800 for the front end conversion.

I paid $355 for the GT/CS rear fascia directly through my dealer. $1,200 went towards paint and labor costs so I ended up spending about $3500 for a complete front and rear swap...but I got a lower labor rate than what the dealer usually charge (I paid $40 an hour) due to the fact my car was in an accident and they were being contracted by my insurance agency at their repair rate since they have a working relationship with the company that fixed my Mustang.

My Ford dealership did a great job and I didn't come no where close to the $5,000 some people said it would take to do the complete swap.

cost me 1950.00 US for complete gt 500 front end minus hood and rear GT/CS bumper plus gt 500 rear spoiler pulled in favors to get the painting done. maybe if you"re close to a canadian border you should check out our prices on bumpers as I only bought mine last week and we still do not have any increases in prices so far.

The transformation was a little time consuming, especially on the first one, but the outcome was unreal.

I did want to thank all the guys who had done this before us, who got us all interested, like UK50, 2L8IWON, 555, OKLACOP, TUCKER, etc. I especially want to thank Jesse (2L8IWON) for all his help via e-mail and phone. Thanks bro. I hope you guys enjoy.

I just got the car back from the body shop. Looks awesome painted. I got looks before but now the most unusual, unexpected are stopping to look. I didnt think a hood could do this much, but......
