get it right, LeMans stripes, GT500 axlebacks (for sound), GT500 spoiler, and Boss 302 Rear diffuser. silly.

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?

Yeah I was just kidding : ) I had to throw in something to make it sound better.

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

The CDC Performance Grille can be found here.

They're still on pre-order but they'll be released very shortly!

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.

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.
