When you get the parts, write down the GM part numbers that are on the stickers or invoice--help some STS buds

I am doing this in the next week or so. I am waiting on my bumper cover, and then to get it painted.

What fog light brackets are you guys talking about? I looked on my fogs, the GM parts site, and asked the parts manager at my local dealer, and all the info I got is that the fog light brackets are built into the fog lights themselves.

And about the plastic "air dam", are you talking about the air deflector?

When I do do it I am going to post pictures, I'm still working on doing my install H.I.D. write up.

much thanks

Im waiting to receive the 32 METAL clips to hold the E&G grills into the 09 Bumper. They are about a week out. The fog light bracket is not needed. The plastic air deflector at the bottom of the bumper is. Along with a bunch of other parts.

A bunch of other parts? I thought it would be pretty straight forward.... Front bumper cover, grill, grill trim, air deflector, and that's it. I already ordered the bumper cover. I Can't think of what else could be needed. I already got a bunch of fastners and clip from clipsandfastners dot com from when I took the front bumper cover off to install H.I.D.'s.

What bunch of parts are you talking about.

Thanks

Lower bumper supports, clips, bolts, screws, nuts, air deflector, hole cover, nut cover ($65), the PLASTIC air scoop UNDER the bumper (not the rubber one that runs along the bottom,) the list goes on. When I am finished with mine, ill show you my dealer receipt of all parts required.

That would be SO great. I thought I would have every thing I needed by the te my bumper got painted, but I guess not.
Thanks alot. I'll be looking foreward to that.

hey guys im new to the site, i have an 05 STS and have been thinking about swapping to the 09 bumper cover and E&G grill as well bc it just looks so much better than the original. a lady backed into me on the highway the other day and her insurance company cut me a nice check.. so i was thinking about just buying a used 09 bumper cover and the grill and bolting it on. is the 09 bumper a direct fit or is it a pretty hard task? can someone kind of tell me what i can expect out of this project? and the costs.. thanks. i just dont want to order a 300-400 dollar bumper and it not fit.
