Buying a second hand GT2 front bumper, what else needed?

I have managed to get a gt2 front bumper but what other bits do i need for it to just bolt on and fit? air ducts etc? im not worried about it being functional just yet, i just want it to fit ? will it just be a case of taking old one off and putting this one on or is there some extra plastic bits behind that i need?

The Titan writeup is great. I would make it functional right away as you are already in there once you take the TT bumper skin off.

I would also check out this thread from when I was selling an OEM bumper and related parts. It has some good info on what you need / don't need. And feel free to ping me with any questions as I have done the conversion before.

This is pretty much step by step and it only took me about 16 hours to do it...

100% aerodynamically correct, retains the stock location of the horn and all waterlines are retained except for the two at the center radiator. Buy 2 GT center rad waterlines and cut them to fit.

The Titan writeup helped me get started, but I did some things differently to try to keep it as factory as possible without replacing every waterline (which I had) and I didn't want to bend all the brackets to make it fit. My fear was that if I ever sold it, under a PPI someone might claim the car had been crashed due to evidence of "bracket deformations".

Anyway, goodluck with your install!

Mike
