I don't know what it is, or why I am undecided about that grille. I guess it's just that grille look almost waters it down even more since the front ends are so similar now. I think I wouldn't do it simply because my car will have enough cues of that look that I don't want it to look that I'm simply 100% going for that look.
I totally agree with the "no false badging" at least I won't stripe my car with LT500 on the side or anything. Though I do appreciate the nod to the past with the retro "GT" on the grille. For the moment my heart is after the California special grille until something cool in the aftermarket comes along.

Did I buy my car because it was styled after one of the best looking Mustangs ever? Hell yes! Am I trying to portray that it's a GT500, no. With that being said, bigblue11 where did you find that grill?

I really don't like the gt500 grill. I love the roush grill though.

by the way, I followed up with Tousley Ford, their pricing is significantly better than others.
2013 California Special Upper Grille $305.38
2013 California Special Lower Grille $274.73
2013 California Special Foglights and mounting assemblies $260.22 (since you might want to retain foglights.)

I just Traded in my 2011 GT for a 2013 GT. Would anyone happen to know the ford part number for the California special fog lights? I want to get rid of these big ones in the grille. Thank you.

Ok lets say I want to buy the roush front grill http://www.roushperformance.com/part...sh-Grille.html
And want to retain my fog lights and move them to the bottom on my 2013 gt. Do i need a new lower fascia as well or would just buying http://www.partscheap.com/2013-Musta...Kit-p/3504.htm work ?

yes, that kit is exactly what you need. The light output stock is ***, just a FYI. I'd recommend what I did. Purchase a 4500k H11 HID kit from DDM tuning with the slim digital ballast. worked out perfectly.
