Bail Out Explained


Young Chuck in Montana bought a horse from a farmer
for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.

The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died.'

Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'

The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'

Chuck said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.'

The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?

Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'

The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead horse!'

Chuck said, 'Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell any body he's dead.'

A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with that dead horse?'

Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998..'

The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'

Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'



Chuck grew up and works now for the government. He was the one who figured out how to "bail us out".

I should be getting it in a few days or so, as long as they send it priority mail. Then I need some time to fiddle with the car.

I like the CS front end for sure. I'm not sure about the hood. What hood is that? It surprises me your not more interested in the Roush stuff.

Scott it kinda depends on how body shop, insurance and my temper can work out !! As you know the Roush front with spoiler and all components is the most expensive on the market.....

Personally I love the CS front not only because thats what I have, but that would be what I would want even if I didn't already have it. Also I like that hood. I wish I had a different hood, but I have no idea which one, andI really don't feel like going through the trouble of painting a new hood. Obviously your situation you have to have one.

Just a little reminder about the CS front. There is no available chin spoiler for the CS. Not even a splitter. So keep that it mind. It has the look of a smaller chin spoiler already loded into it though. That is why it will also be 1.5" lower than a stock GT front fascia.

I like that combo STD..... at certain angles I'm not crazy about the hood but most of the time it looks killer IMO.

Just for the record I bought my Roush front fascia and chin spoiler for $1,300 and that was painted and ready to bolt on the car. I wonder how that would compare to getting the parts from Ford and than having to paint them??

Gary the reasons you listed are the same I have for going with the CS front.. Plus these fronts can be purchased reasonable ..

Scott thats a fair price for the whole bundle ...but I'm not a big time Sheep Rancher like yourself.....me just a little old hippie man....

Looks like if you would have added a painted chin spoiler you and 70 would be around the same cost........Do you have a sheep herd to Glenn ....
