But you are right on the dealer being a douche, $54 above MSRP on the price really is

Thank you!
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!

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 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

I am in the process of trying to do something simalar to what you did with your stock mustang front lower fascia and a black out grille. I have everything stock just how yours was in the picture. I want to do the GT/CS lower fascia with a the rousch front black out grille. I am having problems trying to find all the part numbers i need in order to get them orderd. I also dont' know what I need or what any of the items from ford come with. I would like to do one big order and have everything I need to save on shipping costs. Can you please help me?
