Right. Well I sincerely apologize for being helpful. I ordered online, as in my case for the grilles they said they had to order and it would be a while v.s. having something in stock. I won't help anymore.

My initial charge was that, then in the end mine ended up shipping w/ free shipping, FYI.

Did you get your car yet, btw?

Installed my Roush upper grille today. Taking the front fascia off is the only way to go! Makes life much easier, although the grille clips are a pain in the a.. . Not finished yet as I am also doing the chin splitter at the same time. Pictures tomorrow.

Heres a quick pic I took today, its hard to get the right lighting. I am putting on the chin spoiler tomorrow so maybe I will have better light in my garage. Still waiting on the roush lower, they said sometime before January but Im willing to wait it out.

I got my mca pack polished grilles for $335 shipped upper&lower new from a second chance deal i refused then contacted the seller of on ebaymotors. Installation is simple rip old grilles out install new grilles call it a day
FYI Protect the upper fascia with ample tape in front of grille, put gloves on then insert fingers into grilles grab and pull very hard straight back.
Do not do like I did and fall on your a*s lol
I really like the polished grilles as originally i was going to paint/plastidip em black but I like the polished against sterling grey.
Not impressed with how flimsy the construction is ford!
Instead of first on race day type parts these feel more like *****d over rebuilt dodge quality!
That said cant beat the price/visual impact and they ad more air vs stock.
I also did my own ram air using 3" ducting jammed into the factory scoop on the drivers side of the rad and sealed to the back of the grille. which sotp the car seems to have a little more top end pull

the lowers you were able to "yank" out as well? I did the top no problem, but I couldn't get the lower to budge

^yes mamm trick is to pull up&out at the same time on the lower also your factory air temp sensor is attached to it so that needs to be popped out before the grille is completely clear of the car. Two push in white tabs hold it to the upper right hand corner of the lower grille assembly.

maybe I missed the tabs while I was busy installing my fogs, but I tell ya, I saw no way that the grille was going to come out easily. Once my billet lower shows up, I'll give it another try.

Trust me the lower is a piece of cheese cake in comparison to the upper. Just pull out&up firmly it will just pop out. Then un clip the air temp sensor, pop in the new lower ur done. FYI u won't be able to reinstall the sensor just no room at all and it's harness isn't long enough. I tried then tried it with my wife who has small hands and just couldn't get it reinstalled
No biggie I guess just sits there but it will read hotter then ambient as it sits loosely near the radiator instead of tucked up reading the air being rammed into the grille opening.
