2013 GT500 front bumper conversion going onto 2011...

[StevenStarke]

Just change the emblem like I did.

Do the Rad black, like the gt500. They make a black radiator paint. Doesn't hurt coolant temps either. Looks so much better. I didn't even take my bumper off. I just stuck my hand in there and sprayed it, lol. That may sound ghetto, but it's fine. Doesn't really need much.

I always thought it looked better silver personally. But it doesn't matter, I sold the car last year and bought a real 2014 GT500 lol.

Hey guys im in the middle of this conversion on my 2013. Was wondering what I have to do to wire up the H16 fogs to work off of my 2013 GT LED foglamp plugs. Thanks

 

[Vegas5OH]

nvm i figured it out. ill update the thread with pics when I get it done.

You literally just splice them in lol

 

[Vegas5OH]

yeah I had a dumb moment lol. I do have another question though, whats the part numbers for the hardware to attatch the 4 piece splitter to the bumper? Im assuming I dont need anymore than that. I can reuse all the oem stuff on the car already for the rest im guessing.

Wait like the bolts to attach?

 

[Vegas5OH]

Yeah there is a part number for the bolts on tousleys website but what about the clips they fasten to

I'll be getting my gt500 bumper back from paint in a couple days and I still haven't seen anything on the forums about the exact hardware you need to install it. Could you pm me or post on here what bolts and nuts you had to buy?

 

[Vegas5OH]

Got my bumper test fitted today. Only thing im missing now is the under tray if the stock 13 one doesnt fit which i will see tomorrow. drove around with it today and man the 4 piece chin scrapes on EVERYTHING

 

[kevin2970]

Stock undertray is different unless you have a Boss or GTCS splitter.

 

[Vegas5OH]

I got it to fit great, had to trim it up and drill four holes but it looks oem and is strong. So for anybody wondering you can make it work.

I'm gonna do this on my 2013 (same color too), and I like to see the details on where the stock GT undertray was modified if you could point out those modifications in the pic. I think the undertray is significantly expensive and it would be nice to cut that extra expense out if possible.

 

[Vegas5OH]

when I take the bumper back off for paint i will take some pics for sure! I am going to make the stock bumper foam work also.

Thanks man. That would be a big help, details on the bumper foam too with pics

 

[barricade 257]

To Anyone that has done this conversion. By any chance did you happen to take any pic of the GT500 bumper on while still having the 11-12 hood on the car? Yes I know it doesn't close/latch I just want to see by how much it's off.

Thanks

 

[Vegas5OH]

Today I also modified my stock 2013 GT absorber foam to work with the GT500 fascia. For anybody wondering here are pics of both the foam and undertray modified to fit the GT500 bumper. Saves about $300! I am sending my fascia for paint tomorrow, cant wait to get it done!

 

[Jinx.]

What areas did you modify? Can you point them out? Does the foam bumper piece fit solid against the inner part of the front bumper cover for support?
