Yeah thats the route I should have gone but by the time I thought about it twice I had allready ordered them since it seemed like such a good deal allready damn it lol
Mine aren't installed yet but it looks pretty simple basically I decided to get them because they give the car a little bit more of a lower and aggressive look
I just did the ford acc/gt500 style on my 2010 4.0 this weekend it's pretty easy I took my tailiights off but you don't have to.
To get the stock valance off you undo the 3 philips head screws in each side of the rear wheel wells*as they are in a hard to reach place unless you take your rear wheels off so I used a 1/4 drive socket along with a philips bit to get at them just use firm pressure and a steady hand they will be tight at first, you will also need to remove 4 push in tabs 2 per side under the rear bumper these require a flat screw driver for removal then you unsnap/pop out the 2 white tabs in the lower center part of your bumper and the rest of the rear bumper will simply unsnap as its held in place by a bunch of push pin type connectors don't worry they are reusable so just pull straight out on them. However there is a wiring harness for the lights that you will need to unplug and pull out in order to remove the bumper assembly. To get to this you will need to remove your center trim panel in the rear storage area, do that by unscrewing the 2 top connectors 1 each side and popping out the 2 bottom push in connectors and then pull up to pop out the top push in tabs. That will give you access to the wiring harness simply unplug it and pull it threw the factory hole along with the rubber grommett and then the rear bumper will come off its kind of ackward to manuever so be carefull. Also be sure to spread some cardboard or something like a blanket over the area you plan on setting your bumper down to avoid scratching your paint!
To remove the lower valance from the bumper assembly it uses several push in wiring connectors that you will need to remove by simply pulling straight up, it also uses a total of 8 *4 per side push in tab connectors* simply use a flat head screwdriver to remove these, then you will need to unscrew a total of 4 philips head screws *2 per side* and then using an assistant*it will be easier with one than without* to pull the bumper portitions apart as the lower is held to the upper by more push in type tabs the middle ones under the liscense plate were the hardest to remove requiring a good bit of elbow grease and since I didn't want to scratch my brand new paint I had my wife hold each side so it wouldn't flop around while I pulled the sections apart.
That done simply put your stock valance aside*since you have a gt be sure to put it up for sale somewhere as us v-6 guys will be snapping them up for getting duals installed I would guess $75-100 would be a fair asking price* and re-install your roush valance by lining up the center first and pushing it in firmly then the sides. I would then re-install the 8 push tabs first to get everything else in line then the 4 philips screws then re install by pushing in firmly the wiring harness connectors. Then re-install your bumper by having your assistant hold it in place so you can put the wiring harness back and the grommett, then push in the top portion firmly using the palm of your hand there are 6 connectors total, then start at one side and line up and push it into place you will have to pull the bumper over the area using the screws in the wheel well, once both sides are lined up and everything is lined up re-install the 3 philips head screws and 2 push in tabs per side and then push in the lower 2 white tabs and you should also have 2 more 1 per side push in tabs holding the lower edges of your valance*I forgot these make sure you remove the factory ones as us v6 guys don't have them but I assume the gts do? All in all even removing the tailights this took me less than an hour and I had never done it before or read any instructions so thats not to bad It was however just like swapping bumpers on my 06 but actually easier because it took me more time to unsnap the bumper sections and get the new lower valance installed&lined up then it did to pull everything else apart. The gt500 piece looks great imo and I can't wait to get my custom 4" tip duals done!
Thanks! If possible can you take pics of the instructions above? If not it's all good, i'll figure it out. I'm just one of those visual type people. lol
Also I would love to see pictures of your rear diffuser! I'll be putting the valence on sale as soon as I get the roush installed.
