I don't know if that covers it or not but if anyone has anything to add to the list I will update this I hope this will be an offical 2013 GT front end swap parts list but **** its a bunch of :bs: to do but I wanted a 2013 GT but instead I went with a 2012 v6 at the time it was a better saultion but now I dont have the heart to part with the car so im doing the next best thing, and I know alot of you are not fans of the "Catfish" bumper but I just really like the hood and I get the bonus of the gt fogs so thats my main reason for doing this. But please if anyone has any info that can contribute to this it will be greatly appreciated! My goal is to have a 2012 V6 that looks like a 2013 GT and this is the final step but I should have the first 2013 Kona blue Mustang :D Stick around or sub to the thread if you wish in a few weeks I will be test fitting the 2013 GT hood on my car hopefully I'm going to try with the bumper on first just to see if it fit then if it does not I will remove the bumper but hopefully I will have this done by the time winter is over :D
Pics will come when I start doing this and after I will make a write up for anyone else that would like to do this as well!

Here is a small write up on how to remove your old hood and put the new one on.

Here is the hood coming of the truck.

Hood

Now you want to strip off the hood latch which is 2 10mm bolts from the hood.
Then you want to remove your hood insulator.
next pull the windshield fluid hose and disconnect the c-clips
remove the hood water shielding

next grab a friend and un-bolt the 4 10mm bolts holding the hood on and remove the hood
