My car is scheduled to come in this week. I bought the boss 302 front and asked if I could drop it off to him and have it installed before I pick up the car. He said that he knows they won't do it because they only deal with the mechanical aspects of the car, not bodywork. Says that I have to bring it to a body shop to install it. Is this true?

 

Some dealers don't have on-side body shops.

 

I don't really think a body shop is needed but if you can't do it and the dealer doesn't want to touch it then that's what id do

Don't let the swap scare you though. It's really easy, I mean really easy. I did CS front and roush grill and it was done in an hour. Help from a friend isn't needed but makes it a lot easier to deal with.

 

I've seen the directions on the net and it looks SCARY. Almost taking off the front bumper cover....

 

John,

Don't be! You can totally do this at home buddy! Fascia swaps are one of the easiest, quickest, and bang-for-the-buck modifications that any enthusiast can do. A set if hand tools and some time is all you'll need!

You can do it with the bumper on. The instructions are on here somewhere.

 

If you have the cs fascia on now take it off do the drilling and screwing on a table top then reinstall the fascia with the splitter on it.

 

Where are the directions on here? And what drilling? I don't have the cs splitter on. I have the regular GT fascia. I intend to put the boss/cs fascia and not the splitter.

 

Taking my sweet time it took me a little over an hour. It really isn't that bad. Save yourself some cash.

 

To get the front bumper off there are only a hand full of screws and a bigger hand full of push pins. Do not let it scare you. You will be thinking about how hard it's going to be until the bumper snaps off and then your going to be kicking yourself for thinking it would be hard at all, just have a flat surface to work on the bumper and a blanket do you dont scratch it. And again a friend isn't needed but if you have a second set if hand it make installation way easier

 

Do I need to move the horns or temperature sensor?

 

The temp sensor is held to the bumper with push pins, it goes back in the same location and you do not have to move the horn at all, If your in the north then you also have a block heater plug tied to the bumper as well, I used the instructions on roush website. Very detailed and lots of pictures

 

Rush has directions on the cs fascia?

 

Look at the directions for the roush or saleen grill, it tells you how to take off the front fascia. To get the lower grill off, best way I can tell you is start pulling straight out. The snaps will release and putting the new lower in is even easier.
