I actually really like that.

Weird how all the 2012 season Boss302R's are using regular GT grilles (appropriately hacked up)

 

Looks very good to me! The little gap doesn't look bad at all.

 

zoomed and lightened.

 

They actually all had regular GT grilles last season as well. My guess on reasoning was both better cooling and decreased parts cost.

 

Hmm, wonder how that would look on a Kona blue. Anyone feel like a little photoshop?

 

Makes sense, although #15 and #16 had boss 302 grilles, I have one from the 15 car here in the garage (received it in the mishap at the MRLS race).

Also I went back in pics and sure enough, the other ones did run GT grilles (with lots of plastic cut out). #15 wore a GT grille for the daytona race as well.

Me walking off with the grille:

 

At the risk of being shunned as a double poster... but for the benefit of this thread, here's a reply I sent to KC:

What are the chances of getting the track apps programmed to run on my 2012 GT's Ford Factory Electronics/Nav/Sync System? All the data (off the OBD/CAN network) is there; and the Nav/Sync system has ~40GB of space...

 

I had the dealer install the CS billet grille with surround and the CS/Boss lower fascia w/fog lamps on my 2012 GT -- I love it. It's a much classier look, and the the spherical fogs complement the HIDs very nicely.

Parts, tax, paint, labor, totaled ~$850 and took one day; all financed with the car and under warranty.

I recommend going this route (grille & lower fascia), vice the whole front end retrofit you'd need for the 2013 style.

 

Hardware I'd also be interested in: any diffy, tranny, or engine oil coolers.

 

Thief! I am pretty sure I saw you walk away with that, I recall.

That's kind of funny. The only race I was able to go to was MRLS and I didn't notice they were running the Boss grille. I guess I was just excited to be there. Unfortunately it was a bad, bad weekend for the Mustangs.




Sorry for the brief thread derailing.

 

Man, there were a lot of us there!

Anyhow, here are a few more shots of the #61 Roush car w/ the 2013 tails:

 

I'm going on record as saying the gap isn't a big deal, and can be played off as a styling cue. If the taillights weren't going to be 1 million dollars, certainly a facelift I wouldn't mind doing.

Same with that panel. I'm running a wrapped panel (cf vinyl, somewhat of a tone match to the gray plastic below)

edit: on the derailing, my car now wears the pony from that grille. I hope it brings my car better luck than it did Foster and Maxwell

 

It looks like the deck lid panel will work with the existing tail lights.

 

it absolutely would.. i'ld just ad that & call it a day. certainly a lot cheaper and no gap

 

Been said already by someone else, but I gots ta have the 6-piston Brembos.

 

this. although I wanna see what the 2013 tail lights would look like w/o the decklid panel

 

Recaro seats now available. A bit pricey at $3000 for the pair.

It's like the Mustang equivalent of pants sagging.. the gaps look weird. Somebody needs to make an aftermarket cover that is styled just like the 10-12, but doesn't have the dip for the lights.

 

Thomas, those Recaros are SO sweet.... but 3k?? Someone has to sell them for cheaper. Will they fit and function just like my powered leather ones?

 

Nope, they are manual with cloth only. Driver seat is four way adjustable and passenger is two way.
