The story is that I swapped out the Ecoboost grille for a ‘22 GT/CS grille. I took off the emblem since it’s not a GT and I’m waiting on my guy to ship me a custom EB/CS emblem. I have been retrofitting genuine CS parts to have the California Special package on an Ecoboost.

He Must Have This Style! Less Emblem! Or Thereabouts!
@S550_tips
Hey OP Give us The Low Down! I'm Done Guessing! Hey S550 We are Curious about You Mods and What Exactly You Used??

Appearance mods:
-PP1 front lip (since the CS comes with the same)
-PP1 belly pan and fender splash guards (I also have the Ford Performance control arms)
-’22 GT/CS upper and lower grille
-CS side scoop
-CS 3-post wing (not yet painted and installed; acquired from Shelby American)
-custom “California Special” script emblem for rear decklid
-CS red-stitched dash
-CS dash plague
-CS red-stitched center console and shift boot
-CS red-stitched door panels with Mikko Suede inserts
-(I don’t have the CS seats yet. I want someone to do custom embossing for “EB/CS”.)
-trim protectors for the edge of my headliner to prevent fraying in the back
-15-17 illuminated A/T shifter (Ford removed the illumination around 2018)
-Coursemotorsports MagSafe phone charge with charging cable hardwired to fuse box)
-BlackVue front and rear dash cam hardwired to fuse box
-LED light strip for trunk (the ‘19 has on bulb in the trunk on the driver side and has poor lighting)
-Diode Dynamics Stage 2 interior cabin lighting
-Diode Dynamics Elite fog lights
Performance mods:
-aFe intake scoop
-Roush CAI
-CVF hot-side charge pipe
-GoFastBits DV+ diverter valve with 15-17 electrical solenoid (this was needed to make the GFB compatible; the 15-17 solenoid works fine with my ‘19)
-CVF street intercooler (retained Active Grille Shutter)
-CVF cold-side charge pipe
-ported throttle body by 454Chuy on IG
-ported intake manifold by 454Chuy
-took off the OTS tune from COBB until I get a pro tune from PDTuning via HPTuners.
-carbon fiber/leather combo heated steering wheel with red 12 o’ clock stripe (took me awhile to swap the OEM connectors for the heating and thermistor wire pairs)
-Performance Pack gauge dash trim. (Waiting on HPTuners device so I can activate the oil pressure switch from switch to transducer after swapping out the switch to the sending unit. When this is done, the oil pressure gauge should work.)
I know this is Information Overload, but feel free to ask any questions.

After reading over your post response to the OP regarding your comment about owning a Mustang is a thrilling experience, I assume you also own a Mustang and if so? how about introducing yourself along with providing some details about your Mustang, such as coupe, convertible, year, engine type and if you added any performance upgrades or if it's OEM/stock... Meanwhile, I'm sure we all would be very curious and interested...
