Decided that I needed to change up the appearance of the front of the car and this is what I came up with.

Before Pics:





AFTER pics:






yes, that is actual flare, not added in PS.


Put on a new Saleen grille along with the CS/GT lower valance. Got the inspiration by looking at what some others had done.

I think it makes the car look more meaner/sinister. Thoughts?

 

Very OEM looking, well done.

 

i was about to do this, theni found out the v6 has a full bumper grille.

OH well

Looks very nice! I have yet to see anyone paint the shell and leave the bars as is

 

Looks VERY nice!

 

Amazing job Bill, and even better photos!

 

Looks great! The Saleen grille / GT/CS lower fascia combo seems to be very popular nowadays. In fact, I'm going to be augmenting the front end of my 2011 GT in about a month in the exact same way! Thanks for the pics!

 

Is it just me, or does the Saleen grille look noticeably "less black" than the factory grille surround? Crap, and I really love the contrast between the OEM grille surround and the Sterling Gray paint!

 

I think it is slightly "lighter". I am debating on whether to have it painted to match the body "black" or not.

 

Vice nice...Love the CS/GT front. SLN grill makes the front end looks clean..
Went to SEMA this year and saw this in carbon fiber..

 

Nice pic. I'm pretty sure that's TruFiber / TruCarbon's CF lower fascia. I think it looks pretty good, even though it is devoid of bosses for foglights or brake cooling ducts.

 

looks sick, wonder how a pony would look in the middle

 

Looks so sick!

On Wednesday, my Saleen grill, CS Valance and Fogs, will get here!

I can't wait!

After seeing Digital Synapse's pics, I placed my order!

I still haven't seen this set up on Kona Blue. I've seen one with the grill, and vie seen one with the valance w/o the fogs. But none with both.

I cant wait, but it definitely looks great on black.

 

Thanks. Install only took less than an hour to change both out. I highly suggest that you remove the whole bumper (easier than you think), the hardest part is removing the clips for the OEM grill. Also when putting the bumper back on I suggest you start with the drivers side first, if not then you will have a problem with the fogs hitting the horn assembly.

 

That looks familiar.

 

That looks great, soon enough mine will look just like that, minus the CS foglights and replace the car with performance white

 

It's a good looking combo, its relatively cheap, and you don't have to worry about color matching.

No compromising FTW!

 

Looks amazing! That combo works extremely well together.

 

Looking good

 

That looks great. The GT/CS front valence is on my "to do" list.
