CDC grill going on my 13 V6

It looks like I will have to remove at least the center support from the bumper cover? Do I also remove the outer support pieces? I already removed the ugly chrome grill. After I cut the plastic supports it should just snap in? Where do I get a pony emblem for the grill?

You have to cut the center support, I don't recall any outer support pieces being cut out though.

The grille emblem is something you have to do yourself. Just a small angle bracket held on with 2 sided 3M tape and get your own tri-bar. Use 2 sided tape again to hold it on the bracket. If the tri-bar has pins on it just cut them off and sand it smooth. I used the side tri-bar, but it is a little big and am replacing it with the side tri-bar from a 1998 (some kid broke the tail off my emblem so I needed to replace it).

That looks great, is that the c/s lower and did it completely replace the factory plastic honeycomb?

I had mine installed by a ford body shop and they said they removed 2 or 3 struts for a clean fit. They also painted the cooler black, as per instructions. I personally love the look, and no emblem.

It is the MCA lower but I sprayed ut with plasti dip because black (like the CS) looks better. I've been looking for a CS lower to swap though

I had to cut out the fog supports and the center. Painted the cooler black as well. And mine is the Roush lower. As for emblem find one you like from any of the companies and stick it on there.

Anybody know where or if you can get the red GT emblem that CDC originally showed it with? I wanted it but couldn't find it on their site anywhere.

I would suggest if you run the open lower that you buy some sort of insert to ensure you don't pick up any road debris that could damage the components behind there...

Grill is done! I had to remove the outer brackets which appear to support the GT foglights - I also had to remove the center bracket, I'm not sure what that one does

I like it - one thing about these grills, you can open the hood from outside the vehicle
