They do have them but SVT designed them to maximixe airflow so if you look at it, it might not appear to have one. But it does, it is designed to channel the airflow to specific parts of the engine in order to cool it doen thus reducing some heat soak issues past GT500s have had.

I think I've noticed something too. The GT500 lower appears to have two versions. One is blocked, which I'm guessing isn't the Track Pack, and the other is slatted (like the pic in here) and that diverts air to the supplemental coolers.

That's my point. The 2013s look so much like the Shelby that putting in a Shelby grill is only going to IMHO "poserfy" the car even more. Plus even if you do remove the Snake emblem you will still have the backing plate there that will stand out like a sore thumb even if you do put the tri-bar pony emblem on it.

Sorry if this question sounds ignorant but is the radiator black or is it just shadowed in all the photos? I wanted to do the swap from my honeycomb 12 grill to the 13 but the big radiator in its current form might scream unfinished.

I know some people have expressed interest in swapping their 10-12 grilles for the open 2013 style. I was able to find a part number for the upper, but the lower grille is still not showing a price, and is most likely not available yet (as of 5/25). I will update this with info as it becomes available.

GT500 upper grille: DR3Z-8200-AA ($357.83)

GT500 lower grille: DR3Z-17K945-? (More info needed)
