Ya - you have to buy the separate parts to complete it - but do a little at a time - don't compromise just be patient I hear ya though man trust me

So when you get the just the front from them does it look funny without the lower grill? Basically will it look ok to drive it without completing it yet? I think it would look good just to put a solid grill in the bottom and a matching grill in the top that lets me keep the factory fog light position, but do they have the bottom grill for it without the fog light holes if you want to not use the lower lights?

Have you got yours installed yet? Any issues or extras needed for the install?

I'm also looking at the Street Scene gen 1 bumper. It's about the same price, but the lower grill for it is all it needs to complete the look and it's only $80 vs the several hundred to complete the C-series kit.
I can't find any feedback about the Street Scene kit though, anyone out there have any experience with it????

Same thing happened to me. Except I went with the Roush bumper/fascia already painted. I actually got a good deal on it too. I bought the fascia, chin spoiler, & hood scoop all painted - only paid $65 for shipping on all 3 together. They were bought from Blue Oval Industries

Yeah, I can't wait to see how it turns out for you. I ordered my Street Scene Gen 1 a couple of days ago. Personally, I'm wanting to start spending some money on wheels/tires and move on to performance. The one you got is bad *** but too rich for my blood right now.

I'll post up pix when I get my stuff back, too. I'm looking at a good couple of weeks. Street Scene is actually having to make my front and send it to the place I ordered it from then they have to send it to me. They said a week for delivery, I'll believe it when I see it.

By the way. The reason I chose the Street Scene Gen 1 over the original CS front is this. . .

The CS front looks awesome on cars that are any color other than Black like mine. You see the contrast of the Black in the center Vs. the color of the car on the sides. However, on a black car it just all blends together and doesn't really look much different than the stock GT bumper.

To each is own - I went with the C-Series (oops) because I can now have 6 fog lights if I want plus headlights - I'm think I'm going to put strobes in teh lower smaller fog light spot, I also have strobes in my upper grill so... - plus the 4 fog lights - should look good

I was talking about the CS=California Special above, not the C-Series you got, btw. I was originally going with the California Special and then I decided to order the Gen 1. I'm actually thinking about canceling the Gen 1 SS and just going with the California Special because of the prep time required for the SS. I really wish I could get some feedback on how much prep is required on it
