The lower airdam deflector is the black rubber piece the one on the LS/LT's will not fit 100% you will need to cut it in half you will have a 2" gap in the middle (I decided to keep the V6 one and cut it) as I did not want to spend $60 for a new one (you never see it).

As for the "left/right Filler moldings" see the attached photo.

You have no idea how much that picture just helped!! THANK YOU!! So im guessing that my filler moldings from my LT will have different clips/bolts?
Sooo is that all in terms of what needs to be swapped (Cover, upper/lower grill, L/R filler molding)?

The required parts are the grills and the deflector and there are some bolts to attache the fascia that are different but many just use generic ones

Thanks to everyone for replying, decided to go with greyhound packagesxpress, got a quote for $75 from buffalo to houston.

I put 30lb for the bumper weight for my quote, does anyone know exactly how much that bumper weighs?

i sent 2 rocker panels which came up short of 80 inches from newyork to newmexico i paid 80dollars plus insurance and they weighed about 8lbs .that was ups.forget usps they will rob u blind.also remember they are going by the size of your box. and try to get a box that fits it perfect so there is no bouncing around plus a little bubble rap.remember these guys dont care whats in the box.good luck

Monday I took delivery of the GM Ground Effects. The box it came in was 82 long, 28 high and 26 long. The box weighs about 25 lbs, but they had to ship it on a pallet so the total shipping weight that was on the delivery slip says 80 lbs. Normally, because it has to be on a pallet they only ship to a business that can handle a pallet. They did agree to send it to my house, but I had to be there to accept it. Their normal cost of shipping was 175, but I got a discount and paid 75 and it was shipped by R&L Carriers. The reason your quote from UPS was so hight is not because of the weight, it is probably the size of the box.

You might have to piece together a few boxes I use 14x14x48 boxes for my car show stands so I figure I would need to take 4-5 of my boxes to make one big enough for the bumper. Like I suggested go to a body shop or a dealership and speak to the parts dept and see if they have any bumpers or seats come in to save the box.

Yeah I was thinking earlier about asking my body-shop to save me a box if one comes in that is large enough. If not I will have to do as you suggest and make one. Thanks for the reply!
