black billet grill and Cervini 500 splitter on torch red

Ok, I have satisfied my need for speed for the time being. Now it is time for a couple (cough cough) cosmetic mods.
Sooo, tomorrow I am supposed to be receiving Carriage Works black billet replacement grill, lower grill insert, a tri-bar pony & shield type GT emblem (not sure which to use on grill) and a Cervini 500 front splitter.
Future plans are to install an aluminum Saleen hood and do something with the deck lid panel. Probably paint it satin black and install a SHR medalion like the sourcehorse or even all black with the tri-bar pony.
If you guys have any suggestions for the deck lid let me know.
I have included a couple "before" pics and should have some "after" pics of the front by this weekend.

Here are a couple pics to help me decide what to do with the back. Any input is appreciated.

You just couldn't stand it any longer?

The cervini splitter is supposed to take some work to get it right. As low as your car is I don't think by adding the splitter you will be able to get a floor jack under it. You should just have it prepped and painted and then sell it to me.

Saleen hood get rid of some heat
Shelby GT500 rear wing to replace existing wing
With the black billet grille, maybe the SHR honeycomb rear panel

I know Rich, I have a problem! Honestly not a fan of the honeycomb panel. Especially when I won't have honeycomb stock grilles in front. I was looking at the CDC panel but am not sure. It's clean and has the lines similar to the grill. I want to keep things clean, simple and not overdone for sure.

If you're not crazy about the ribbed CDC panel, maybe you will like this more.....

Please post some pics of the billet grill when you get it installed. I've got the same one that I'm going to install on my Candy Apple red 08 GT when it comes in.

FYI, if it's the same grill that I have you do have to drill 4 holes, but it sounds pretty easy. I got mine from Moss, and made them change their description of the grill on their website since it said that no holes needed to be drilled.

Here's a thread that talks about it with plenty of pics.

Looks good That is really going to change the way I am used to seeing the car. Are you going to paint the splitter black or red? I like that grille and want to see it in person. Good work so far Bro~

**** that front end is LOW!! You need to put in some airbags to get in and out of your driveway! wooooo!

I like the Saleen hood a lot and the GT500 rear spoiler looks HUGE to me on a vert but probably not a lot of options unless you want to fill holes in the rear deck.

Where's the cage and the 125 shot?!?!

Your car's not going to be a sleeper any more! --sniff--

Tell me how you like the 500 splitter, I have been thinking about doing that myself.

Whoa there little buddy. Why not wait until you see Ryan's all finished before you order one. You spend money like the federal government.

Get these accessories first to hold you over until you decide on a front splitter!

Don't let the little cosmetics fool you bro! Custom tune by Ravi soon, then 6pt cage, then 100 shot of juice for the hell of it!

Here are the finished front pics with exception to the lower grill insert.

I am thinking about using the spoiler paint (Hot Rod Black) to hit the back panel, then adding a black SHR medalion (thanks davesiar!). Then I am thinking maybe a Roush spoiler for total badazzness.
