actually all of those items are needed 100%. None of your USDM parts could be used in place of the ones listed.

there is the st205 rebar and the brackets not listed in there which you would need if you wanted the fogs also, (or you could cut your existing bar) and if you did want to get the fogs you would need different bezels, the brackets and the fogs themselves.

basicly everything (without fogs) is about $1200 - and yes this is just to replace your hood and bumper.

Also a little note: There is an "optional" gt-4 hood latch if you go for the new hood. You either have to 1) buy this 2) know how to weld or have a friend who does or 3) live with a hood this has to be slammed pretty hard, and is tough to get open. Personally, I would strongly discourage 3 (since what you are actually doing if you don't modify is using just one of the two latch systems (there is the latch controlled from the driver's seat, and the emergency backup one you undo from the front.))

You can fabricate the grills yourself if you are gutsy. I know if I did it it would look aweful, so I just broke down and bought all the stuff.

about your third point, i am using the stock latch and both the main latch and safety latch engage when i close it. but as i posted in another thread, you either need the gt4 latch or modify the safety latch hook to extend it by about half an inch if you have the gt4 bumper. without the bumper, my stock latch works fine as the gap leaves me room to get my fingers in, just have to press it a little to disengage the safety latch. but with the gt4 bumper, i wouldnt be able to open my hood.

oh by the way, if you get the gt4 latch, make sure its a LHD one from europe as the cable from the RHD one enters from opposite side.

im thinking of a 3sgte swap and i heard that you cant fit it in without the gt4 hood. is this true? and if i moved the intercooler to the front bumper would it fit then?

thanks

a st205 and st185 will fit with your current hood/bumper.
