I had to laugh when I saw your post Saturday after returning from Mustang Alley and the Woodward Dream Cruise. Roush,Ford Racing,CDC, etc. had their displays on the same lot ,so I went to look at the actual Roush upper grille. I talked to 2 or3 of their representatives and we had a discussion about the new grilles and splitter.They were totally clueless ! Didn't know anything about prices,availability ,etc. You are really on the ball with your research. Great work !!!!!!!!!!!

You are not lying I can't make a decision on anything about this grille. I can't decide if I want to keep the fogs or what. I really like the new LED fogs alot and can't decide what to do!!

^fwiw you can run the boss grille for something a little different and still keep your fogs. LMRS did it on their dib project 2013.
I to am so torn on grilles I love the factory cs pieces but I didn't pay as much as they want for those for my gears/installation&tuner. Ultimately I'm going to go black billet upper&lower and unless someone comes out with a better front splitter then the roush? I think it looks the best personally if you look at it from lots of angles it really flows well with the front end's curves of the bumper/hood area. I'll just get the roush, what I do wish is that they would release the front lip/side splitters&rear splitter w/possibly the diffuser as a nicely packaged combo deal. That would be nice but probably wishful thinking.

Yea I like that grille wish it wasn't honeycomb. I wish it had the bars like the 2012 boss 302s I think....then I could get the roush lower with the splitter and be golden.

I probably will - in the interest of burning money and making my car different than the rest.

Here is my CDC Performance grill as well (along with the RTR chin spoiler). If you were in Mustang Alley on Saturday and came by the CDC display you saw my car getting the make over I won. There are a few things to complete yet because we ran out of time.
I am going to swap the lower grill for the GT/CS grill which is the same as the MCA just in black. I had a photoshop for comparison and the black lower grill looks a lot better.
One thing I've noticed with this grill. The temps are running a couple of degrees cooler - both the cylinder head temp and the transmission oil temp. The stock grill is really blocked off quite a bit, even though it appears to be open:
The CDC performance grill is wide open though:

I think you may have helped me make up my mind though Jim. That looks awesome. Once you have the black lower it'll be perfect.

I can't decide whether I like my fogs better, or the roush grill. The led fogs are so bright!
Question... The CDC grill looks like you can install without taking off the bumper based on their installation video. Is the roush grill the same way?
