Anyone installed the CDC performance grille on a canadian '13 5.0 GT?

I've ordered the CDC grill (cobra style) and the online directions talk about the fog light removal. Up here i didn't get the fogs in the grill, they are below. Has anyone installed this grille in the GT without the fog removal? I've got the chrome pony in the middle with the chrome accents around the grill (blech!)
Can't wait to clean it up with the CDC.

It sounds like your set up is similar to my MCA or the GT/CS. I have it on my car and there is a post you cut out in the middle. It's easy to see what has to come out. I have pictures on my home computer of the installation and they may show you what you need to do. I'll try to check this evening

I don't have great pictures - I was trying to stay out of the way while they worked on my car (I won the promotion last year and in Mustang Alley during Woodward Dream Cruise CDC did a make over of my car)

With a more recent addition - tri-bar on the passenger side (but I'm trying to find a smaller one now, the fender badge is too big I think)

Does your lower bumper look similar to the MCA on mine?

hey yeah my car has the same bumper and chin as your original. I'm not going to redo the chin though. How crucial was the post they had to cut? Is it impossible to go back to the stock grill again?

It looked to me like the CDC grille won't go in without that post cut out. They told me that I can always go back to stock still and that the post didn't do much for support - the grille itself was the support. In the third picture you can see the center piece some and it looks like it is too far forward for the CDC grille.

On AM's website they show the standard model: Item # 11099

For the Canadian cars you need the Item # 11099-eh.
