I ordered mine and let it come in on the dealers normal truck, no special shipping. But if it were not for my brothers Discount at the dealer I would have been paying the $294 of the net since my friend that worked there left.
But you are right on the dealer being a douche, $54 above MSRP on the price really is

Yeah, I hear you. dmhines definitely started a trend. Being that these are Mustangs, though, it's hard to do something that no one else has done. Locally, I'm the only one that has this front end setup (until I get to the Knoxville area).

I actually had a good friend of mine, Scott Noe of Noe's Performance, install these parts for me. I think he wanted to get a chance to look over a new Mustang, and I was happy to oblige. I dropped my car off on my way to work, and he had it done literally within an hour-and-a-half. He told me that everything fit perfectly; he had to add some "shim" to the underside of the bumper cover, though, to close the gap between the bottom of the Saleen grille and the front fascia.

I'm glad I got a 2011! I think it's dumb that Ford isn't offering a gray of any kind in 2012!

Thanks for the acknowledgement. I originally did this mod to my car late last April before the CS cars had even shipped by ordering the crash part # instead of the Ford Accessory part. Heck ... that was back when the 2011GT's were all on hold!

I'm sure Saleen SpeedLab sold lots of these grills to go with the CS front Valance !

Looks really good!!!

It doesn't matter that other people have it. Not doing something that is very aesthetically pleasing just because others have the same mod is actually being more of a follower Not to mention that Mustangs are so fun because they are mass marketed and catered to by the aftermarket.

So kudoes to you for doing exactly what you wanted - the most "unique" act of all It paid off in the appearance of your ride!

Because the Mustang is such a common car, I think any aesthetic modification sets it apart. I see a bunch of Mustangs everyday, V6 and V8, most of them completely stock. But when you see one that has clearly been modded, it's likely that the owner is more of an "enthusiast." I know it's a bit of a generalization, since some people don't like to change the car, which doesn't make them any less of an enthusiast.

That's my opinion, anyways.

Thanks for all the compliments!

Suspension, wheels and tires are next. I'm still debating on whether to swap my factory rear valence for the GT500 piece. What do you all think?

I like the Saleens; in fact, I had Saleens on my 2007. I was leaning more towards the Ford Racing SVT Performance Pack-style wheels, though.

I won't argue against the PP GT500 wheels. I've seen them in person several times and they look NICE. Just make sure you get some pony center caps. Like the ones from the GT/CS or any 19" GT wheel. The white FRPP caps look hideous

Superb work on the car.......that's a mean scowl it's got now
So awesome, and on the best color too. Makes me want to do the same thing, I already want that grille, but the GT/CS really makes it pop.

Definitely GT500 rear. It's like $135 from the dealer, great value!
