Alright so I own a 2011 v6. I swapped it to the gt front bumper a while ago with the fog lights. Today I swapped front ends with a 2014 5.0. Swapped the bumper, hood, splash guard and all that
Day 1
Gt front
Today's 2014 5.0 swap
I read a lot before and everyone said it was a direct swap.. It's not..
I had to cut a few pieces so the bumper support would fit with my headlights and I still have to mess with the foam part behind the bumper since I had to swap that so it would fit but the holes didn't line up
Overall I'm satisfied though
Looks pretty aggressive now!
Well I spent nothing on the 13-14 front end with the cdc grill, and chin
We traded front ends straight across lol and I have some lights waiting to go on. They're hid with halos and all that from Hidguy
Nothing
We traded front ends
The only thing I spent money on was for gas lol met a guy, from Florida, in Louisiana. I'm from Texas so we met half way lol
Can't beat free and a little gas money for the look you want!
Personally I like the 10-12 front ends and grille choices but the 13 and 14 rear ends. I'm about to finish my tail light and decklid swap on my 11 once my parts arrived. If I can find a 13-14 rear bumper and valance I'll likely do that as well!

I personally like my 12 front end and the 13 rear end. Though I might consider a GT500 swap just to get that hood with the heat extractor. Anyway, very nice job, and I love the look.
You could get a 13 or 14 front bumper and brackets for cheaper than a GT500 likely. Then I've seen a surprising amount of take-off GT500 hoods on ebay.

Unfortunately the lights are messing up. When I step on it the lights start to flicker and if I floor it they shut off completely.. Not sure if it's the lights or the way the shop wired everything. Im at a different shop and they are looking at it so I can see what is the problem.
Not sure lol I'm still waiting here
Either way, I'm gonna go back to stock because the projector on the driver side is messed up. It's not centered like the other one.

Yeah the guy said they wired it up bad. He said they ghetto rigged it to work but that he fixed it for now. Now I'm gonna go to the original shop and try and get my money back or something for their sloppy work

I noticed your car didn't originally have fog lights, when you swapped to the gt front end and had the fogs did you buy a harness to connect them? I'm doing a front end swap as well but I'm installing the gt/cs fogs that go in the lower fascia but I'm not sure what I'd need. I have a 2012 and the only cheap kit I've found is for 13/14 and they don't include the wiring harness. Any tips or ideas? Thanks!
