put on a new upper and lower roush grille today
i love the new aggressive look with the Roush grille,. plus it was easier to instal than i heard about as i did not have to remove the front bumper fascia. here is a before and after shot.

and btw, looks great! I was gonna do the same, but ended up on getting the top portion. the parts are too expensive.. plus i figured the biggest difference would be with the upper part. While I still think that's true, that lower part does seem to increase the looks even more
EDIT:
Here's mine, think i should get the lower portion? Ive been planning instead to get rid of the 4x4 look..

At first I was going to remove the front bumper but when i took the radiator cover off I saw that you can reach down in thru the hood release too some of the retaining clips on the top grille so I pushed a couple of them in and the top grille easily puled strait out. I then put the retaining clips on the Roush grille and snapped it back on the car. For the lower grille I did much the same but there is some cutting to do.
I really do like the way it looks as a set so for me it was worth the price

because I tried that, but all that did was scratch the living hell out of that area of my bumper. The only safe way I saw, and what the instructions had said to do anyway(my fault for not following them fully.. stupid cjpony parts video), was to put the grille in first, then snap on the clips from the back. fits perfectly that way. thankfully the grille itself hides most of the scratches from the first attempt.
PS. your definitely right about the set, looks much better.

I dont think that would be enough to protect, cause those clip things are ridiculously sharp.. but apparently it worked for you so good job. I'm pm'ing you next time i do something like this.. maybe for the lower grille lol

I love the a Roush grille. It's the best grille for the 13-14 stangs. I also tried to do it without taking off the bumper buts it's pretty difficult to get you hand down there. Taking off the bumper is pretty easy though. Did the whole thing by myself in a few hours in my garage. You guys should look into the hood scoop too. The V6 hoods are way too plain without the louvers or vents. I have no idea why they got rid of the cowl.
Here's mine with the grille and scoop.

^ i installed front n side splitters.. they are awesome... gave the car complete look... only issue i have is i now hv to be extra cautious about the front hitting any ramp i go into... i have to always take it side ways.. i lowered my car just 1inch...
