Ongoing Mod List
Since I just can't seem to leave anything alone I decided to personalize my '14 Brembo GT ~just a little.
Car came with leather and all the good stuff.
Bought the car brand new from the dealer, bone stock back in March of 2014
All stock, getting acquainted with the garage...

Nothing super special yet but thought I'd share. Down the road plans are a one-piece driveshaft, MGW shifter, and if I'm lucky an Aluminator shortblock (Might be in the works, we shall see).

Car looks great and i'll bet sounds amazing. I really liked the rear look. Make sure you install the MGW race spec shifter.
Whats up with the short block. why not just build what you have.

Thanks! It sounds more like an old muscle car versus a mod motor. The canyon video on my post gives you a decent idea if you turn up the sound. My engine has the dreaded "Ignitor Tick" unfortunately. On my 2nd dealer now and Ford Customer Care says they are willing to do what it takes to fix it. I talked to them about paying the extra for the Ford Racing shortblock and they are open to the idea. We will see how it pans out. Definitely looking into the MGW race spec.

Upper grille showed up. Lower grille and chin splitter will be here next week.
Fits very nicely, getting the fog lights out was a bit of a PITA and my knuckles are missing a bit of skin.
I do think down the road I will black out the AC condenser or maybe remove the center brace and fog light mounting braces. This grille screws in place from behind and it can be done through the top if you're flexible enough. No clips to break which is nice.

Thanks and yeah, the Roush open lower does nothing for me. I'm actually thinking about maybe cutting out the center brace and the old fog light braces instead of blacking out the AC condenser. I like the contrast of the aluminum and the black. If it were a round tube and fin style condenser like the GT500 has I would probably black it out. The stock GT AC condenser is actually a good looking piece, looks just like a radiator ~most people actually call it a radiator when it's not. lol

Received the lower grille today, it looks great, excellent quality. The chin splitter will be here tomorrow and I already have the California Special lower fog lights. My goal is to install the lower grille, fog lights and chin splitter all at once.

Thanks! I used a high temp engine paint which contains ceramic. It was recommended by one of my radiator vendors.
Thanks! The Cervinis GT500 kit (Grilles and chin splitter) was around $500 and the California Special fog lights were about $250. Less than $800 total for everything. I also bought a Stow and Show" license plate bracket for an additional $70 and will be filling the license plate holes. Stay-tuned as I get it all installed, everything combined should make all the difference!

Everything is installed now.
Here are a few pics of the removable license plate frame. I tied it into the k-member with flat-bar to strengthen it a bit. Otherwise it just kinda flops around.

(NOTE: The front bumper is actually going to get re-painted or replaced soon and the old license plate holes will be gone. ~The dealer owes it to me. I just wanted to get everything mocked up and definitely didn't want them installing it all. I may actually have them do their thing on the cover and then let me put everything back on so I know it gets done right.)
And the finished product...
