So How much did it run you to get it painted??? I'm also thinking about getting this since the bumper is at such a great price.

Cost me $280 at a local Ford dealership. However, I had another offer (another Ford dealer) to do it for $150, but I had already dropped off the bumper. I didn't have an easy time locating a supposedly good body shop in so. FL.

I love the setup. At somepoint I'll change over to the GT/CS rear as well.

That is one beautiful rear... one of the best I have seen on a Mustang. Wow!
The ducktail fits your car A LOT better than I have seen on the gt/cs and cobra. there isnt that big space between tail and trunk

Thanks! I'm very happy with the outcome. Maybe it's just being black, but I think it looks great without stripes too.

BTW, I purchased everything through KC at Clevenger Ford. He was most helpful throughout the project. Thanks KC!

Wow man that looks fantastic Between the rear on your car and the front on the guys who are doing the GT500 fascia: You're making it hard to resist the urge to splurge

The SS rear valance is a piece that fits over the existing rear bumper cover, covering just the lower portion. This is a whole new bumper cover that has an integral rear diffuser and is shaped different than the OE Mustang GT bumper.
