Someone did a photo shop with the chin painted - I might take care of this over the winter, need to talk with my paint guy.

Looks SO much better! I also like the CDC grille with that pony emblem!

Lower grille looks good blacked out too. Now you need to make it happen! I'd also black out your rear diffuser in between the exhaust, get an axle back to fill up those cut outs, lower that thing and either get some spacers or save up for new wheels!

That is the same license plate surround (both pictures you posted neema). It is the CDC RTR version.

And I did paint the lower grill, and it looks much better.

It might just be the angle. They are the same part, nothing different.

look again, Neema is right. They are different. The one of the black car looks smoother, the one of the car has an extra raised portion around the holes.

Isn't that just the way that the sunlight is hitting each one - that at first glance makes them look different.

I wonder how the license plate surround would look paint to match? Can anyone photo shop the black one?

i emailed CDC and they said the version on the black car was a prototype; the red car has the production version. bummer, i like the black one better oh well.

FYI, I would NEVER EVER remove the stock grille this way. I have a '13 GT (Canadian) and the grill is fastened in with 10 clips. Simply using brute force to pull it through is insane. I looked up a youtube video to actually remove a grille properly. Much better.

this is more accurate:


More like 3 hours for the installation.

Most people don't go back after getting an aftermarket part....so that's where the brute force comes in to play. Plus most don't have the patience for it.

maybe but i don't agree on the 'most' part of your comment. All the proud stang owners i know would indeed take the time to do something carefully, especially if they are interested in showing it.

I've got the CDC upper the Roush barred lower. Go pretty well together. I just ripped my upper out with force. Put some blue tape on the make sure I didn't scratch anything but that was it. No big deal. I ended up taking the front off anyway later cause I had to cut for the Roush but whatever.

It looks like Roush has released their "high-flow" lower fascia opening, but good Lord, it's $300!!!
