Default New GT front end on v6

I finally got everything I needed to swap out my damaged v6 front bumper to a GT one. Only took about 2 hours, I spent most of the time trying to take out the front marker lights from the v6 bumper to the GT one. Everything is good except for the fender well guards, I need new ones to be able to fit the new bumper. Thanks for everyone that helped me out with selling the parts and advice on how to do the swap.

Thanks everyone, the side markers were so hard because the new bumper i purchased didn't come with the corner piece that they lock into so since i work slow it just took me a while to take them off my old bumper.
