v6 bumper on a v8

What all do I need to install a v6 bumper on my v8? Besides the bumper and the lower grill.

that rubber deflector underneath the fascia is different, but the SS version is longer by a couple inches, so you could just cut yours with a pair of scissors. Why go with the V6 fascia? Going for a sleeper look? The lower grille on the V6 is significantly smaller, may cause your car to run a little hotter than usual.

Soloknight6- yes I'm trying to go for a more sleeker look. And I also plan on putting an aftermarket cold air intake on the car as well. Do you think it would help?

Oh, and do you have any idea on how I can get the part number for the lower rubber piece for the v6?

The lower air damn is not really necessary. I did the V6 to SS swap and never cut mine, just never put one on.

You will probably need the wheel liners. The V6 liners are more curved/less square than the SS. The SS fascia will Fit over V6 wheel liners, but the V6 fascia might not fit over the SS wheel liners. If it doesn't you could also cut them.
