Hi everyone , So got this 14 MCA Stang last year and knew it had been in accident because bumper color doesn't match rest of car and hood does not sit right next to bumper facia which I need to fix at some point. But the big question is what should my front grill look like? Here is a picture. And the upper grill is not right and the lower is silver toned. But from what I read and saw on other sites and saw in sales brochure it is supposed to be the black billet with the tri bar logo? I found some new CS grills on Ebay which are pricey but want to know is that the correct one?
Because the first owner didn't want to go through insurance they didn't make a claim so did it on the cheap. I really want to make the front look correct for the model. Thanks for your help.

Thanks KC I saw the second link before and didn't scroll down all the way but looking at bottom when he first got it, his 2014 grabber blue shows the silver tri-bar which would match up with my lower grill. I am hoping someone else here has a 14 like mine and can tell me what theirs has to confirm.
The other link takes you to a website you have to pay membership to be in MCA.
Ford Would Often Offer a {KIT Part} With a Different Part Number & Sometimes added Content Such as Fasteners Etc. Than The{ Bare Part} SERVICE Part Number Which Was Different.

I Was Just Wanting To Show Pic of Car!
Siber Has an MCA Car & I Paged Him!
I Edited Various Posts So Start Over At Top To get Full Story!
When I was in the wreck with mine (rock rolled off of a hill and got the front Bumper), the Lower Grille was damaged and I bought one of the last California Special Grilles Kits and switched it from Stainless to Black.
KC thanks for those links. I actually found 2 places that have that upper grill, one is at a Ford dealership by me down in Canton. Going to contact and see if I can work out a deal to buy in person as it is pricey!
Thanks for posting your pictures. I like the black grill and feel it would go well with the black wheels that came with my package
Just so you know, the Correct color for the Mustang Club of America wheels without the Performance Package was Sterling Grey like on this GTHG Vert
The Black Wheels although they are the same everything but color were added or painted by someone else.
Argh! the previous owner messed up everything on this car. At least the spoiler and MCA stripe are original. I couldn't figure out why the wheels were black and not greay When I rotated them this summer they have the Ford stampings on inside. And when I bought a set of Ford "Black" front mats the dealership I got from said that was their version of black but they look grey. And I didn't understand what the two sets of strips meant either there is only the MCA along bottom.

The Black wheels are Ford, they are from a different package but as I said before the only thing that is different is the color and the black wheels look a lot better with the black roof.
Our Carpet is Black Charcoal, it is not a true black. The people that ordered Lloyds floor mats figured that one out since the black from them was black.
As for the previous owner screwing it up, I don't think so looks awesome
Thanks for your thoughts that makes me feel better. One thing I found these black wheels need to be cleaned more often. The brake dust etc sticks like glue to them. I'm hoping to get another month and half out of driving it before putting in garage for winter.
