Oh yeah. No freight charges from Ford. It all adds up You can also (from select Ford dealers) have it painted before you pick it up. The one I checked was only 97 additional for paint, but my dealer couldn't do it for a couple weeks, so I went with my regular paint shop. Otherwise I could of had the whole thing (paint and parts) for under 400 from the dealer. Not all dealerships have an inhouse body and paint, so that is why it is from select dealers. You have to find your local with a body shop, and quote that for the paint option. It's a bit hard to find when buying, but it can be found and added. It's something that not everyone will talk about, but should. Good luck.

NO. Buying this from a Ford dealership is a No Brainer. The Ford factory online list is only 355. I bought mine for less than 280 from my local dealership. You just need the number and call for a price. The 389 from AM is too high. They get theirs from Ford anyways, so why pay the middle man (sorry AM)? The number is 6R3Z6320048BA. The front (CS/GT bumper cover) is 6R3Z6320049AA. Check around before you buy. Save your money for more mods. lol

I know RedFire. I was just stating to 07GrabU that the AM pricing wasn't the best deal on the market.
Personally I was going to add the lip only myself, but when I found out the price difference, I went with the whole bumper. Nice and clean. No place to come apart at the seams. JMO.

Here is what I purchased:

I forgot where I ordered it from, but I remember it cost me $78.00. Looks very much stock, and meant to be there...

Since you already have the GT rear bumper, it looks like a winner. I like the diffuser design over the stock bumper. Good call. Hope it fits good and you like the way it looks. From what I can see, you'll be happy. Good luck.

Time is money and I need immediate gratification now! AM "painted" GT-500 to you in day's. No waiting-calling-waiting then sending it to a paint shop then waiting-calling-waiting. Also that 3M tape is strong! Better have some help holding the hood down or you could pull and buckle the sheet metal, it's that strong.
