Dude, suuuper easy, less than 4min installing, lol.
Remove the radiator cover clips, and cover.
Flex out the little tabs holding in the factory grill.
Slide out grill a little, unplug foglights.
Remove grill.
Silde new grill on slowly making sure all tabs are aligned properly.
Part way in, put new alligator clips on tabs with teeth facing inwards.
Slide grill all the way in and slide alligator clips all the way to the base of each tab.
Ford's factory grille has tabs with little ridges that, when slid in to a certain point, click and dont come out without some moderate "persuasion". The Saleen tabs are slick, for production costs Im sure, and could slide out if you dont have anything holding them, in steps the alligator clip. I dont know what the hell its called, thats what I called it.
These hold the grille in, but I dont think you can take them off without braking something, Im not gonna try. The roush doesnt use those, it just asks you to butcher your factory grill as a frame, lol. No thanks.

These grilles are in stock and ready to ship. If anyone has a V6 and would like the GT bumper and this grille, please email me, jalbright@saleen.com, and I will check to see if we have your color fascia in stock and get you a price.

My clips don't seem to hold the grille very well at all. The entire thing is a little loose. It actually touches the bumper on the bottom edges. The center is spaced properly. Does anyone know if those clips can be purchased anywhere locally? I want to try again.
