I hope so.
I'll get to keep the OEM LED fog lights which I love. I plan on tinting them a little with the lens paint I used for the rear markers.

New upper/lower billet grilles installed, stock fog lights (with some lens tint spray-paint on them to darken them out a bit) now hiding behind the upper grille, still functional :

Made some step-up ramps for the car to drive on before the ramps, since the Roush splitter would touch the ramps now that the car's lowered :

You know, I used a stubby on the Focus for a while and my reception went to crap.
I'm fighting off buying a stubby for the Mustang ...

Thanks.
This grille gives me the option to put just about whatever badge/emblem I want on it, right now I don't want any of them, although a "GT" may find its way on there at some point, we'll see ...

That looks great Gabe. How long was the install? Was it difficult?

Thanks ... took about 2 hours I think. Not difficult at all. I was most worried about removing/reinstalling the bumper cover ... Now I can have one off in 10-15 minutes, lol

Where did you buy that lens tint?

Reason being: I'm thinking about darkening my plastic license plate cover a tad bit since the state changed the tags design to stark white

How dark is it? Ticket dark?

I think I bought it at Autozone.
Walmart also was selling it I believe.

As far as darkness, it all depends how many coats you put on
