Rain was moving in but I managed to install rear Black out panel, Roush Rear Springs, GT500 Mud Flaps and GT500 axle-backs. The GT500 axles backs sound sweet!!!

Huge thumbs up Bro! My Heartthrob kit will be here Monday. Got the HT H-Pipe and over the axle pipes. Hoping that the open 3 inch pipes will shape the sound of my GT500's. Not that they need it but I heard the sound might get deeper.

Your car is looking awesome. Wishing I had been a little more patient and gotten the Brembo package as well!

I had these springs in my 2010 and ride was fine. Been raining so haven't driven car since mods installed. I also disconnected the skip shift solenoid since that has already got me a few times.

Most of the parts being installed came off my 2010 so I have them sitting here ready to go.

Just got the Valance, Splitter and Saleen Grill installed. Here is a crappy nighttime garage pic! LOL ....

Springs were easier to install than the front valance. Just need a jack and some jack stands for the springs.

Love the 5.0L Coyote Emblem in the grill. Looks like it was born to be there brother!

Prices are around $150 each for the grill and splitter. Of course you need CS valance for the splitter.
