GT, BOSS, GT 500, CS rear valance's

Can any help me with this. I have been looking on the fordparts web site and also trying to find photos that show the difference.
-Is there a texture difference on these rear valances?
-All they all interchangeable with stock OE rear bumber?
-I know some cutting is required on this, but from I understand the lines are already marked?

so does this look right? looks like the boss/CS rear end are the same for single exhaust tips and the GT 500 for dual tips?

boss/cs are the same correct. single tip

GT500 is quad tip.

they both require nearly the same cutting on a stock v6/GT bumper.

How hard is cutting the stock OEM bumper to install the GT500 valance? I have no tools other than hand tools. So what tools did you use to do this?

a body saw makes it really easy.

A sawzall will work; but they are much larger than a body saw. You can use a body saw with one hand while holding the piece you are cutting in your other hand.

The texture it seems for the Boss/CS and GT500 are the same. The install was really not the bad. hardest part was the **** exhaust change-out. The body saw and a dremel tool were the right tools for the job. I got the Dremel with the flexible cable and it was perfect for cutting the slots.

I think it looks **** good with the pedestal spoiler

One week after reading this post I went from "nah, I'm good with the stock piece"...
to having the Boss version now on my car.

$165 for the part, $125 to install.
Took it to a custom shop. They had it done in less than an hour.

Looks great.
Well worth it.
