Default Few questions about GT/CS front end...

Okay. After a long decision process I have finally decided exactly what I want to do to the front end of my car. Here's the plan: California Special front bumper with shelby gt upper and lower black grilles (also with GT500 front splitter). And here are my questions:

1) I am assuming shelbyperformanceparts.com is the only place I can get the shelby grilles. I am not 100% sure what to buy on their site though. This is what I am thinking I need - shelby grille HOUSING, upper grille and lower grille for california special in black. Is this all I need? The description of the upper grille says the "factory" grille needs modification. I am assuming that if I buy the shelby grille housing, this takes care of the "modification" issue, right?

2) In my quest for finding out more information about my future setup, I ran across a picture of a GT/CS bumper that has what appears to be shelby lights in the lower grille section of the bumper, one on each side. I have read somewhere that this was done using the shelby cooling duct modification? Anybody have any more info or any more pics of this?

3) I also have seen a GT500 front splitter put on a GT/CS bumper and it looked amazing. But, there was very little talk about it in the thread that I found it in. Has anybody else done this and do you have any pictures of this?

Sorry for all the questions but I just figured it would be easier than making several individual threads. Thanks in advance for any help!

That's the beauty of this or any Mustang Forum. Lots of info and money saving tips that can help you make the upgrade without second guessing. Post pics when you make the change.
I'm trying to develop a way to mount my fogs down low using driving lights off a Freestyle.They are small and about the right size to fit in the lower grilles.Plus they kick out some pretty good light on my Freestyle.
