    to start there is a lip ledge that the top of the bumper rests / attaches to. If you notice the light / reflector bar in a stealth is narrow, and on a 3KGT it is wide. you need to remove that ledge and lower it.

    There is a wire harness for the reverse lights that a stealth will not have.

    I has been done, and I am probably missing facts that are required to do such a swap.

    What year stealth? I ask because the 2nd gen Stealth rear bumper is really slick.

    done it the other way around. to do it OEM style, you'd need the 3kgt side bracket mounts for the bumper, the complete cosmetic stuff, and the wire-harness for the tails. the reverse light harness will work for either, i believe.

    i have a complete kit (minus the side brackets) available. just PM baadvr4--i'm in germany, and my stuff is in a storage unit he has access to.

    and as kevin posted, all you really need is to drill out the center bracket & re-weld it where it will fit the 3kgt rear end. you CAN use the r/t corner brackets, i believe...but you'll need to move drill/move them down as well (the 3kgt ones mount in the same location, but are a different height).
