Finished installing a Boss grill and Roush splitter. Of course the cold winters is kicking in this weekend so I won't get to drive until April.

Looks great! Where did you get the splitter from?

Most likely from LRS OR American Muscle. My wife got it for my birthday so I am not sure.

How was the install on the splitter? I like the price of this splitter but I am a little cautious with installing it myself.

I watched the videos afew times. It wasn't as tough as pulling the front facia for changing the grille. I used a Dewalt oscillating saw for trimming the old splitter per Roush's directions. We took our time and measured carefully. It reallu makes the front look aggressive.

To me if you have a GT you need the fog lights in the grille, it looks similar to the front end of the 69' fastback which is one of my favorite mustangs. Looks really good OP, i want to do this myself but its hard to part with 300$ for basically just a badge (seeing as its the same grille, but you need a new one to fit the smaller boss emblem)

CJ Pony parts has a version without the surround and fog light delete plates. It's a little over $200. I got mine on sale. Way cheaper than the FRPP versions.

First, I agree- looks great OP (I have the Boss grille and Roush splitter on the front of my GT as well, so I may be a bit biased ).

You can get the necessary parts for the Boss grille from this link for $182 (you just need to trim the small lips that are designed to hold the block off plates- takes about 15 mintues with a Dremel).
