Do you have a pic?
pshhhh now so? the air movement is coming from the drivers side fender... not from the front... :read:
No the air come from directly behind the drivers side fog light. I can stick my hand straight thru the fog light opening and into the air scoop and practically touch the filter. Try it.
Yes, they are available. I personally don't like it as it blocks alot of air flow to the radiator, but to each their own. Last i heard they were on back order from ford til february, though that may have changed. They come unpainted, so you can either install it and it will be all black, or you can get the outer section painted so it looks more like the boss
This is a comparision of the different bumpers, but with the new grill and no fog lights, its most definatly pulls air from the front. MAybe later i will get a pic on the opening going to the box.
How does it block anymore flow to the radiator than the OEM fog light that is already there?
EDIT: Maybe you are referring to removing the fog light assembly all together vs the OEM foglight or boss filler when comparing flow to the radiator? Idk, maybe im confusing myself more lol.

A cheaper way to add more flow without the purchase of a new grill would be to buy a dremel or borrow one and just shave out the plastic in each honeycomb in the stock grill.
AM is currently selling the BOSS grill with foglight delete
American Muscle sells this part.

True.
Thanks guys. Just checked it out and that cleared it up for me. I started the post simply because I liked the look of the deleted fog lights but wanted to keep the pony emblem bc I think it looks alot betther than the tri-bar. So to get the look I think im after it would be easier to just buy blackouts for the fogs...
Here's mine. I used mesh from the hardware store and painted it black, it looked awesome and prevented anything large from getting through the openings.
Yes a world of difference in airflow to not only the radiator but the intake as well
Roush grille FTW.
couldn't agree more
Heres a few i snapped for those of you that are on the fence about airflow.
This is the roush grill, but as you can see lots more air flow.
Now for the intake box heres a shot of the opening that leads to the intake. Now with the stock grill there is alot of plastic and a fog light in the way of this opening.
So to just be clear, whichever grill you go with Roush, AM, Saleen your car will thank you for the better flow and cooling to your engine.

And far worse aerodynamics and fuel economy.
Ford strategically sealed off certain sections of the stock GT and Boss 302 grille for a reason.
I am not understanding why everyone assumes the Roush and other completely open grilles are better.
chuck@evolution- Do you see the boss 302 grille being more restrictive than the factory GT grille with fogs?
Also, with the roush grille, does too much pressue build under the hood at high speeds?
I know the GT500 I had was not a completely open grille for that reason...to prevent the hood from fluttering at speed and potentially flying off!
