GT/CS chin spoiler??
 
I'm looking at the GT500 chin spoiler for 05-09 GT/CS front bumper, I was wondering if there is any other chin spoilers out there for the GT/CS front bumper, thanks

About 3 months ago I bought a GT 500 chin spoiler for my 07 GT/CS from CJ Pony Parts. Thank the Mustang Gods they take returns. It looked good in pic's but looked lousey in person. A spoiler on a spoiler--just didn't look good.
Just be aware--all the companies have free shipping, but to ship it back would have cost more than the part. 150.00 for the part with free shipping, but 165.00 to ship it back. Luck for me, I only live 3 hours from CJ Pony--took it back in person with no problem.

Did u have any pics of it on the bumper?

Sorry, no I don't. Never permanently mounted it. Just temp. clamped it and blocked it up under the chin to get an idea of what it looked like.

I trimmed the extra molded mounting serface off so my gt500 splitter would fit a little tighter. Sorry I don't have a pic of what I trimmed off, I only have finished pics....

You can see what they trimmed off. I trimmed the sides and also went a little deeper plus I trimmed the center so the whole splitter would fit tighter.

If you don't trim the splitter, well then you will have a gap and the splitter may not look as good.

**i know its a very old thread but what lower grille and lower grille inserts are/were you running on this bumper? Where to find them or a link would be amazing too**

Look Like Stock GT/CS Lower Inserts Drilled out to Mount Fog Lights. Must Have Gt/Cs Fascia to Use. Do Not Recognize Billet Grille.

Closest I Could Find Here!

A Bulllit Style is Nice if you are Wanting to Lose The Fogs.

I was referring to the pics of the stang above that one at the top of the thread, its super dark so hard to see, and i just got a CS bumper so i wasnt familliar with how hard a non-honeycomb lower grille is to find, seems impossible

You Would Need to Cut a Section out of And Existing Billet Grille and Modify to Fit. if that is what you are wanting . I doubt but Not Sure Anything Pre Made Available for a C/S.

Here Is Wades GT Album.

This is my Old Final Pic Gt/CS & Shelby GT-500 Conversion Topic. Mostly Gt500 But if you Are Searching Gt/CS Bumper Looks There are Some in here! I actually was the Guy That Started the Bumper Conversions Back in the Day! I made Up the Gt/CS Kit Before Ford Jumped in! Be Advised Some Pics Were Lost By Funky Pic Hosting Sites.
Sold a Ton! Lots of Good SN-197 Info in My Oem Parts Section as Well.

My Gt-500 is Stock Stance with Only 33k On Her and the Only Rough Spot on her is the Lip of the factory Chin Spoiler. So Be Aware when Lowering Clearance it Comes at a Price. Parking Blocks Can Be Deadly As Well! Oh and I got to Drive up on a Couple of 2X4 Blocks to get a Floor Jack under the Front. Then There are Lifts at the Shop to Worry About! Just Saying! Comparison of My GT/CS & GT-500 Front for Reference! CS looks to Have More clearance For Sure!

Enjoy,

Yeah, im on coilovers and am sittin pretty low right now, just enough clearence on the front fenders for turning and not to rub, she looks perfect, but this new bumper makes me look almost factory height without a chin spoiler or something. I do all the work myself and i work at a dealership and i have rubberized blocks i drive her up on to get the lift arms under the pinchwelds.
