2011 GT/CS grill options

Hey all, I just picked up a 2011 GT/CS and really am not digging the chrome-ish grill. I've been searching for options and found a tuxedo black grill for the CS on partscheap.com....the only problem is, it's not all that "cheap". I saw the Saleen grill and really like the looks of it. After doing a bunch of research, it looks like it "should" fit?

But everything I've read is kind of old. Does anyone know for a fact the saleen grill will fit? Or does anyone know of CS options for a black grill that I haven't read or found?

Thanks for everyone's help in advance!

Yes the saleen grille will fit the bumper. 100% positive as I have owned both.

Personally, I'd paint the grille you have. The Saleen grill covers up the surround. That's a unique look that is intended for the CS.

Thanks for the info on that one. I've never had very good luck painting anything, maybe I'll suck it up and pay for the black CS grill. Thanks again!

Not to burst a bubble but the saleen grille is cheaply made and if not fine right, will have gaps. Do a search on The web about the gaps..

Definitely been finding the gap issues on the internet. Thanks for the heads up. Seems very flimsy from what I've been reading. So would the Boss 302 or 302S grill fit? I've been trying to research what works and what doesn't. Unfortunately I bought the car and 2 weeks later, it was time to put it in storage, so I can't look at it to figure out the grill surround and what will work in it.
Thanks again for all your input!
