Roush open lower grille took me about 2 hours once I had the front facia off.
Not that bad... Just slow and steady is the key.

Looks much better than stock. I'd like to swap mine out but being a daily driver, I'd be afraid of damage with the big opening.

You can always add a black mesh grille. I'm pretty sure a member on here did that to protect his intercooler or radiator

i wish CDC would make a matching lower grille.

I emailed them and this is what they said

"TJ,

We do have one designed but we have not invested into the tooling yet. We need to justify the large tooling expense with demand for the part before we can do that..."

So i wonder, if they get enough people asking for it will they make it? if so, how do we push them to make a matching grille?

dont get me wrong, your setup looks great with the lower Roush, i just think a matching lower would look that much better.

I agree. The Roush one looks great, but it is different than the GT500 lower grille. Plus, I would think the CDC lower would be much cheaper than the Roush.

Here is a pic of the grille pre-assembled so I can test fit the mesh. Name:  A0C86105-6D27-4259-AC8C-969BCA7BE093_zps5quczdtc.jpg

Precisely why I haven't done anything with my lower and now contemplating a GT500 front end, if i can find a good deal.

Hey OP,
That really looks fantastic. Question for you, I was thinking about purchasing the same upper grille for my 2014 (V6). After you installed the upper performance grille, does it look like you would ever be able to re-install the factory grille? From reading about the installation process, there appears to be a middle bar behind the grille that needs to be removed for the grille to look right on the car...

Exactly what I want to do with my car, with the addition of the Roush Fog Light kit! Looks bad ***!
