Well I guess it was bout to happen sooner or later, but I was in a car accident. The damage, I thought, was not that great, it is only a parking lot accident and my right front corner was hit. The short of it is, because it was my fault, it would cost me about $2000 to fix my car (this is at a ford dealership). Basically what they would do is replace the front bumper, right fender, the right headlight and a minor paint touch up on the corner of the hood. So I basically figured I can install those 3 things myself.
After looking around, I found this GT bumper for $200
Mustang GT Front Bumper <br> Cover 2005-2008 - FR3-4200-05AA
I figured that I might as well get it because it will look better, and a not painted V6 bumper would be only about 30 dollars cheaper (not counting shipping).
So my questions are:
Do I need anything extra that is not on my V6 already to change the bumper?
Will it look ridiculous without the side-skirt thing and the rear bumper (which is on my "to get" list)?
Also unrelated question:
How much would it cost to paint the fender to match my color and should I do it at the dealer or somewhere else?
PS: I don't want to make my V6 look like a GT because I think that is a bit wrong. So I will get the front bumper now and get the rear one when I am ready to go dual. Don't want to be driving around with two holes in the bumper and have just the one exhaust coming out.
Thanks.
