Street Scene Front Bumper vs. CS

Street Scene Front Bumper vs. CS
I didn't notice a thread out there with this front cover in mind. I am having a hard time deciding between the GT/CS front bumper (still can't find it for a good price) or the Street Scene.
With the SS bumper, I hate the fact that there is NO GRILL to insert on the lower half. Those who run this, what have you attempted? Can't seem to find anything out there for it.
Ex:

Im fairly new to TMS so pardon my ignorance or lack of searching. Here's an example of how the car sits now:

I've gone from Sportlines to the stock springs. And 1" spacers are gone. The car as it sits looks completely stock, well....crap it is.
The idea, is to go with a single stripe kit from Baltimorestreetmods and a different front bumper. I'd like to do it all at the same time. The issue is, I may just stick with a hood single stripe kit vs. a front to back stripe including bumpers.
Back to the point at hand, the bumpers. Can anyone share insight on where I can get the best deal and what you guys with the SS bumper are doing to cure the empty space?![Dunno](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
P.S. - Here's a Pshopped Sig of what I initially wanted for a stripe.

There's a lady in my town running a Street Scene front kit and she had a grille in the lower half. It may be the universal chicken-wire look stuff, I'm not sure. She works at a bank. When I go out for lunch later today, I'll stop by and see if I can get a closer look at it. Hopefully security won't go too crazy over me checking out a car and I can tell you what it is exactly.

I don't have my mustang anymore ... and I haven't really looked into mustang parts lately because of that ... but when I had mine I had the Street Scene Gen I Body Kit ... the lower area of the bumper doesn't look good when left open IMO, but street scene does sell their "speed grills" that are made for that bumper .... they fit in the gap perfectly. When I put those one the gave it the "finished" look. I'm not sure but they should still be selling those.
Here a picture before the grill insert:

Check out this site.I ordered this kit.All the hardware,marker light brackets and lower grilles came with this kit.Try and have your dealership parts dept. order this for you.My dealer didn't charge me any shipping.Maybe you'll get as lucky.Pat

The site doesn't contain an image. I did see it when I googled the part number though.
It's the GT/CS Front Bumper right? I pondered that, I can get the item at cost locally. I have family in Ford and Dodge parts departments.
Any estimate on the cost of the paint? What did your body shop charge you?

Its the same CS bumper kit.Here is a pic.My paint was cheap.I did the prep and my painter charged me $300.00 and a case of Coors,bumper and side scoops plus installation.Make sure you can get the kit,like I said the hardware comes with it.

The lower grill I am looking at making will match the upper grill honeycomb. also two chioces, plain and with mounting holes for PIAA fog lights. Also kicking around the idea of front license plate mounting, so you dont have to drill holes in your bumper... just ideas, may not pan out for the license holder. Will check into whether to powder coat them or have them anodized. Cost may dictate that.
