Now that sounds like a plan right there!
I love the roush front bumper on any stang I have seen it on...f&ck the haters, do your thing!
Just no badges and you be good

I'm not a fan of the Roush rear bumper. They force you to have their exhaust kit for 05-09. They got it right with '10+ since you can use an exhaust kit of your choice.
Badging and/or telling people it's a Roush car would be a poser. Otherwise many people combine different body parts to create their own style.

Young Gun, listen to me as i have been in your shoes in the past....
if you want the roush body kit, thats not a problem at all...
here on the forums, you will always have those guys that dont agree with what you want to do and this and that....youll be about 50/50 on here as what to do if u ask forum boards....
by now, im sure u pretty much have your mind made on on if u want to pursue the roush look or not....
if you still want to make it happen, there is no problem with pulling it off, but you have to do it right....
it looks like u are planning on going with the entire body kit and that is good..if ur gonna do it, then do it right!
i would recommend the roush rear because thats part of the roush look...only limited roush cars keep the stock rear bumper and side skirts (427-9, p51)...you will need to buy the rectangular exhaust tips and mod/weld your exhaust to terminate where it needs to and fit the bumper....dont worry about the "roush" molded letters in the bumper...
take it little by little...
as far as the badges go, if u had a v8, you could eventually add the fender and rear badges after your entire stage-1 kit is complete but since ur a six, id leave em off, but i probably wouldnt leave the tripony emblem on there and i would also change out the tripony decklid badge to something else...
dont worry about ppl saying poser this and poser that for putting on the roush body kit...if that was the case, then 90% of the mthafkers on here are posers with all the mismatched gt500 + saleen + roush and other parts all on the same car....dont worry about that because once ur mod is ocmplete, the compliments u receive will overwhelm the negatives....
why should you believe me??? i was there my friend....check the trilogy:
plain jane besides the roush scoop and louvers i added...
then roush spoke to me lol
GL and post up if u have any questions!
oh ya, i won many trophies from car shows with my fake roush as well!

At my given time, I would of put on the Roush rear if it didn't cost a fortune for the rear bumper cover AND the exhaust kit. I thought about the stage 1 myself.. but now there is no big reason to swap out the rear without it just being a pure body mod.

I'd Go for it man...just don't put any Roush emblems on it and all will be cool with most here. As if anyone has a say in what you should like or want to do !! Personally, I went with a little bark on my GT (kept GT emblems on) with the Roush rear spoiler, hood scoop, side quarter window covers and front facia with spoiler. Looks sick to me !! And yep, I do have some bite to go with it for those that feel its necessary. Personally, I don`t. So have fun !!!

People paid $10K for the look only on a Roush stage one. I don't even feel sorry for them
Oh, and the $65K or about, for the stage 3 ?!?! You have to have more respect for your butthole. lol.
Smart folks like ONF1R did it themselves for a fraction of that price and he could have slapped a blower on that car and keep everything below $35K.
