Pull the trigger you will not regret it.

I'm on the fence about getting them as well.

"NO" mine is a 2013 GT 5.0 the same Mustang Roush uses to transform them into Roush Cars.

I also installed the Nav-TV backup camera setup...very nice.

true

As stated by members below, very easy install. Here is the video:

I have the roush effects around the bottom of my 5.0 and I couldn't be happier with the look. However I had to reinstall the drivers side one because it wont seem to push towards the back of the car far enough to hug the factory mud flap mold behind the front tire. And it did it again. So there's a noticeable gap under the front of the splitter were its contacting the mold and the tape is visible. I think i got a defective splitter with the holes drilled a little off. Gonna have to take it back off when I have time and modify it to fit.

Anyone else have any issues?

Did you make sure it was lined up correctly? I actually had to cut off about a 1/8" off the rear of mine on both sides because it was pushing on the rubber, but I only had to cut the splitter partially in the back were it cannot be seen, Another words not all the way to the 3M tape. Just behind the Rocker Panel

I actually just ripped off those inner "mudflaps" if u wanna call them that. Don't see what type of purpose they served, they were in the way

Ha! Ha! yeah, either way will work, but what I had to cut off was not very much at all. Just a little bit wider then a tooth pick and shorter, just used a dremel tool.

Yup, took off those factory mud flap guards on the back off the rocker panel. Lined it up as perfect as possible but i still believe the roush splitter holes are slightly off. Ill figure it out. Its just a hassle.

Looks great! I was debating them before, but would have to get the full front and rear treatment of I were to get it. Also am happy with her current looks at the moment.

That's actually what made me hold off, the 10-12s don't have a side splitter option for the rear. I heard Classic Design Concepts can probably give u that option if u call them direct. It's off of the RTR rear valance and they may be able to sell separate, but it ain't cheap -_-

I do not understand that. The Roush splitter has 8 square tips that fit in the 8 square holes in the Rocker Panel. How can it not line up? If so I would send it back where you bought it from and have them send you a new one. Did you check the splitters on the bottom side? they are marked LH and RH.

Exactly, those need to be removed before instal. Sorry just saw this. They will warp the splitters when left on.

Do they look like this. These are the Roush splitters each one of those 8 tips on each splitter goes up into the Rocker Panel:
