For the bumper foam I just cut the bottom half of it off. It does still support the bumper and do what its supposed to. For the under tray on the bottom I pried off that little flap on the bottom of it with a razor and trimmed most the the front of it off to fit. Then I drilled four holes through the splitter and the tray to secure it down. Im really happy with how it turned out, only thing I need now is a GT500 radiator shroud and my bumper back from paint and I will be set. I did my swap with paint for under $1500

No I ordered The bumper cover, brackets, hardware and grilles from tousley. I live in Vegas so I just drove over to Shelby and got a take off 4 piece chin spoiler for 50 bucks. Bought aftermarket fog light housings for 29 bucks on ebay, VLEDs H16 LEDs for 60, harnesses to wire them for 10 and im paying 350 for paint. Then I re used my bumper foam and under shield. Actually Ill be about $1600 all in painted with LED bulbs and everything. I got my GT500 hood take off from Shelby also, and ill have pictures of the finished product hopefully by weds next week! I made a complete parts list with all hardware and parts necessary for the swap if anybody would like me to post it up.

Headlights are my stock 2013 Headlights. Good news my swap is complete! All that is left is to take the car to the body shop so they can buff out the bumper. Color matches beautiful, everything fit just perfect! Here are some crappy pics
to those who have done it,
Did you ever get a smack talking from owners of real GT500's?

Am I missing anything? Already have the hood and bumper. Just wanted to make sure I didn't overlook anything.
I did it to my 2014 5.0 but I also have a real 2014 GT500 too. I'm not mad at myself about it.
