Looks great! I thought the Roush lower delete grille came with a plastic piece that went along the upper portion of the vent?

Do you see what I mean? There's like a plastic piece that goes above the vent as well that lines the top?

looks great Philly , but i'm not buying the "lowered head temps by 20degs" unless your car ran at 225 before I'm running a CDC upper delete and homemade lower delete and saw zero change in head temps(I run 205deg)
After I put the super charger on my car I saw head temps up to 255 on a hot day. After the cdc upper the highest I have seen is 230 with the a/c running on a hot day.

...hot days are upper 90's.

That piece along the top of the opening is just a decal. It comes with the kit, but imo it looks better without. Beefcake has some good head on shots without the decal and looks great!

wasn't me that was seeing those temps , mine were 205 with the stock grille in So. Fla. summer heat. My temps are exactly the same now with upper and lower deletes.

After I put the super charger on my car I saw head temps up to 255 on a hot day. After the cdc upper the highest I have seen is 230 with the a/c running on a hot day.

Where does the ambient temp sensor get relocated to?

I have one of these on a UPS truck "out for delivery" for today :) ..... and already started cutting up the bumper ... I'm doing as much as I can here in the driveway, before I go to a buddy's place for the actual install
