07-08 front bumper conversion help?
Sorry, I know this has been covered in numerous threads, although I thought I would a make my first post a plea for help from you tl experts. I am picking up the following parts tommorow to finally start my 07-08 front conversion.
I am picking up the following:
back housing for grill
housing for fogs
bumper inserts
pair of fog lights
I have attached a pic of what the seller will provide me with.
My question is once I have these parts what else will I need to complete the front end conversion. (besides the 07-08 bumper)
Part #s would be awesome. Thanks and hope its not that repetitive.

Ah
You'll need the exact same parts except the base variation
For example, instead of the type-s lower grill, you'll buy base lower grills. Instead of the chrome lower grill bar, you'll buy the base (silver) lower grill bar, etc.

Yeah there is a plethora of nose conversion info here. Not sure what exact parts you are referring to, as bumper inserts. Didnt see the pic.
Upper middle grille cross bar
- This part comes with the emblem when purchased new OEM.
- 07-08 emblems are larger, and not interchangeabke with 04-06.
Upper middle V shape grille trim
lower side grilles
Universal fog light wiring kit.
- Personally I like the look of the OEM housings, but with a 4.3K or 5K HID kit.
- I went with a KC Hilights universal fog wiring kit, and random 4.3K HID kit.
- I also bought a nice looking cabin switch for the fog wiring.
Considering the abuse a front bumper is exposed to, high quality paint work is the way to go if you have to paint. I left the upper middle grille backing off, looks good without it too.
Here is link for part numbers.

Thanks again. From what you see that I have pictured, can you tell me what those parts are? As i am not too familar with the parts and there specific names.
From the picture I think I have the lower grills already and i guess that looks the the "v trim"
