Pics: GT/CS Fascia, Saleen Grill, & GT500 Spoiler installed on 12' GT

[Red Turtle]

MRT Has the cheapest price..... I just got one for $325 painted (Drop shipped form 3dCarbon)

RT: Did you have to do any camber adjustments (CC plates/Camber Bolts) with that combo? How is the ride...I take it you did the Eibach pkg with the dampers too!? What about sway bars?

Car does look good and I am glad you brought up the tire sizes, my "P-springs" were great before I switched tires, now I need more drop to get rid of the fender gap.

I got mine from CJ Ponyparts for a little less.

I installed the Eibach camber bolts, and the ride is ok. A little rougher than stock, but not that bad. Wish I did the whole package, but just went with the springs for now.

My best bud Cgoeschel (member) has the Prokit on his Brembo car, and his car definately has a little more gap (255/40 is .5" shorter).

I'm sorry I meant qualityf, but the car looks great

I'll agree, the quality is not superior by any means. I do like how it keeps with the center line of the car and does not require cutting your stocker.

Hey man I wasnt trying to take a shot. I have seen them in person and on here in several posts and the comment from the people who have them is always the same. The quality is cheap and the install comes out shoddy. I was simply hoping that this wasnt an expensive piece. It would be worth trying if it was not too much $$$, but for what I have heard they go for I would pass. Im sure you can unload it quick, and just buy the roush grille. I dont know why you dont like me, but either way car looks great but the grille I would uninstall and unload.

:beer:op:

It was a toss up between the Roush/Saleen, but I didn't want to cut my stocker. It is definately not expensive by any means and worth a shot. As you said, you can uninstall and sell it if you don't like. BTW, never said that I didn't like you.:beer:

just FYI no cutting is needed to install the roush if that was your decision in going saleen.
Theres about 10 clips that hold the fog light area to the surround for the grill, unclip and install your roush.

car looks good. im partial to the roush grill, but i see why folks go for the saleen.

Looks good Justin!! :beer:

The 5.0 Coyote badges are a nice touch on the grille!! I bought a set of those badges last year when I first saw them on Ebay. They are still in my glove box waiting for a place to install them, LOL!!

nothing........haters will hate :rollseyes lol

looks great red turtle! I just did the Saleen grill and CS/Boss fascia last week and I love the look! the Saleen grill is a bit flimsy when youre installing it, but imo it doesnt look cheap.

Yeah, discovered that last night after more research. I am still partial to the Saleen grill for the look.

IMO, the only bad part is the flimsy clips. The stock grill insert is held in by a notch in the tabs, where as the Saleen comes with these thin alligator clips to hold the grill in place.

Having a black 12 GT, I totally love this. Can't wait to the same to mine.

Thanks for the help btw (PMs)

 

[ViciousJay]

If i end up keeping mine (i probably will) ill get the saleen grille, curious where did you get the tag at? I was looking and debating if i bought it that i would just dremel out the tag area and clean it up to match the rest of the grille

No, prob

I got the Coyote badge from ebay. Think it was $9.99 for two.

Looks great. I was going to go with the Saleen grille myself. However, I took a chunk of tire tread to the front bumper cover this weekend and will probably install a Roush front end as a result. So, Roush grille will get the nod instead.

Car looks great with the changes. Curious why no one installs the GT/CS grill since it's now black in 2012.

Perhaps people like the Saleen / Roush better? :rolling:

 

[TheVikingRL]

LOL, that would explain some of it. But since everybody beats up on the Saleen grill and you have to cut the bumper for the Roush grill I figured it would be another option. But I'm biased.

Plus since it's a Ford product it won't void your factory warranty.:-D

Great looking add-ons Red!

for me personally, I just do not like the closely spaced ribs of the Roush or CS grills, the Saleen grill just looks aggressive imo
