Saleen grille and GT/CS lower fascia installed

I think the Saleen grille / GT/CS lower fascia combination makes the front end look much "meaner" than how it appeared in factory guise. I know a lot of people like the fog lights in the grille, but I prefer that area blacked-out.

Please excuse the filthy car as it's been freezing cold here of late...well, by "of late," I mean all winter.











Here's how it appeared stock, just for reference.

Hey, Jason, thanks for the compliment. Yeah, after seeing the Boss splitter on Overboost's Kona 5.0, I know what I'm doing next.

Sounds good!

I really want to see your car with some black chrome Saleen Speedstars

I like the CS Facia and the saleen grill is always a good choice.

The only minor thing for me on the Saleen one is the surround- it has that little design (wedge). As opposed to the flush Roush piece. But since you don't have the HID's it actually meshes up kind of nice with your parking lights. (as in pic 2)

All in all very nicely done!

Looking Good MARZ, the Boss Splitter would look sweet on there.
I agree with Jason, the Black Chrome would look awesome on there

BTW, It is 50 Degrees out, wash your Car

Do it! You won't regret it. If I wasn't keeping the fogs, I'd definitely consider the Saleen grille. Only thing I don't care for is the small spot where the Saleen badge is supposed to go. A little work with a Dremel and you'd never notice though

Nice work. I went with a similar look, but used the Roush grille with a tri-bar pony emblem.

Totally changes the car.

Thanks, man! You're right, these two mods have had a huge impact on the look and attitude of my car.

It's funny you said that. Out of all the pictures I've seen online of this exact same front end setup, the pictures you posted of your Kona Blue beauty are what actually got me to get my rear in gear and get these parts installed. I was actually on the fence as to whether or not I should leave my car's front end stock. I think I made the right choice.

That is a good price. My dealer is a douche, he wants $403 + shipping

The cheapest I have found them for online is $294 + shipping.
