Yes got mine at Mr BK. It's been awhile and don't have my invoice handy. But I sure didn't pay Roush price it.

as for whether it being hot air or not, the "hot" air that goes into your intake is primarily going to be the air that is already in your engine bay that is heated up by the radiant heat built up from the engine....now, not all the air that goes into your intake is hot, most of the air going into your intake while driving will be the cool air that comes through the front grille and into your engine bay....

i would say the 9-bar will help against heat buildup under the hood to a degree because it will allow greater cool air flow into the engine bay, creating more air pressure and forcing a lot of the hot air in the bay out...this will allow more cool air to flow into your intake over the stock grille....

i hope this helps you!
Great post and very insightful. I was just looking at these grills today. A nice, cost effective upgrade that seems to have some nice functionality to it as well.

Thanks

hey guys
well im a new member to this forum and needed a little help so here it goes.
i have a 08 GT and have just purchased and installed a new CDC billet grill without the fog light cut outs or anyhthing, however i wanted to still have my fog lights. i have seen pictures of people putting them behind the grill and i think they look great. so i looked into how to do that, and i came across a thread that said that all they did was wedge it in there. so if anyone has any help on a more detailed description on how to put it in it would be great. And are the fog lights that they put behind the grill, are they the stock GT fogs"?

I asked that a couple months ago and it turns out there is no real kit for mounting the fogs behind the grill. Only a few people on the forum have done it and they all just made up their own way to mount them.
