Whats it gonna cost to do a full 2013 bumper/taillight swap!?

Anyone have part numbers & prices of new parts?
Im really debating this along with paiinting the side skirts & CS front fascia!

If I did this I would add the RTR license plate surround insert.
My other option is to just buy & paint a CS rear valance...Im torn.

If I ever get enough money to mod the car this is the route I'll be going. The cheapest way will probably be to get a takeoff bumper from Saleen/Roush. Then buy the tailights somewhere.

I want the GT/CS one because I don't like the full painted bumper on the 13's (looks too bloated). I also would need the RTR plate surround. Don't need the gloss black decklid panel because I think it looks better w/o it

Just have the decklid panel painted body color.

I bet it would probably be cheaper to sell your current car and buy a 2013 instead.

Never!!! I'm obsessed with the sharknose front end!

Saleen was selling the rear fascia from stock '10-12's for $300. I don't see why the '13s would be any different

I think the 6 element tail lamps are going to break the bank

Yeah those are going for a 1k on ebay.

I'll wait till they become cheaper. A guy on here got a set for $250-500 IIRC

Problem is I don't think Saleen, SMS, ROUSH are replacing the whole bumper on the 2013's. I think the only thing they change is the Valance!?

I went to the dealer and asked for a price for 2013 tail lights and they were going to charge $900 a light. Definitely not gonna be cheap. I want to paint my rear, and skirts too, but no one wants to paint over the textured plastic.

Silver Horse Racing did this on their car, and it ran about $3200. Take a look here.

I think the only way I would do such a swap is if I owned a 2010-12 GT500, that is a lot of money for a cosmetic upgrade.
