Looks good!
I've been considering this too. I'm wondering if anyone has any insight about why Ford has chosen to use such a small opening in the grill? Even if the fog lights are just fog lights, there is still sealed up grill area inboard each light. Beyond that, cars without fog lights, have essentially the exact same open area due to large sealed sections:

Never understood it myself. Unless it is designed to funnel the air to that specific area where the opening is? Maybe keeps dirt/dust out of engine better?

"Compared to the last generation body style, Ford said the 2010 Mustang had 23 percent less aerodynamic lift at the front with a new slotted panel installed under the radiator to direct air, 50 percent better in front/rear lift balance, and seven percent less aerodynamic drag. For 2011, the company has lowered the front air dam and added a front splitter and an underbody aero shield to improve aerodynamics by another 4 percent."

On the prior 05-09 models, on open upper grille was causing too much pressure under the hood. Unless you vented the hood to release air behind the radiator, it had nowhere else to go. I recall there were last minute aero changes to improve fuel efficency for 2010 and again in 2011.

Thanks! That does make sense for sure. Here is what I am considering:

UPDATE: After monitoring the IATs on my Aeroforce, I have consistently seen the temps at ambient temp or cooler. Before the mod the temps were 10deg on average and hotter on a hot sunny day!
Great mod guys....
