It looks the same as the rest of you guys. Do I have to remove the rear bumper cover to install this thing? I have a buddy with a lift but it seems to me that I will need to remove the rear wheels to get the GT500 deflectors off. The screws are so close to the tire.

The part number that I ordered is not what is displayed on the actual part but the dealer said that the number on the part is a Ford Engineering number? I hope that is the case!

goto the Roush website and download the instructions they have on-line for the Roush rear valance...same procedure

Thanks for the reply. I got it installed yesterday and it came out great. The only pain in the a$$ was the four plastic pieces that connected in between the license plate.

Yeah, I fought with those 4 tabs at the license plate trying to get the old fascia off for about 45 minutes before I said the hell with it and cut them off.

Any paint guys know how difficult this is to actually get painted? I've got a shop that i trust to do the work, but I'm afraid its going to crack/not adhere well due to it being plastic...

Any of you guys do this successfuly without any real issues? Alternatively, I was considering getting it vinyl wrapped... at least I know that wont chip.

It doesn't stick very well. Any chips that start spread easily too. I may check on the wrap thing wonder if that sticks better.

You can't vinyl wrap it. The vinyl won't even stick to the bumpy plastic surface

(I already tried to go that route, lol)

i had some under hood parts that were oem texture painted, teh big issue for me was you cna see the texture lightly. i dont even want to think what it woudl cost to sand and fill one of those would run you. I used one of those littel bent screwdrivers to get to the screws near the tires, never took a tire off the car for the rear diffuser of chin spoiler.
