Question GT500 Conversion Question

Im new to this forum and I have a quick question. Im planning on doing a GT500 conversion look on my 07 Mustang GT, is there any specific order I need to follow or part I should start with? Or does it not matter. Im just making sure because I just don't want any hidden headache to come up that I could avoid before I start . Another question, I see some front conversions on the internet and on this site that have the two extra fog lights in the lower grille like the super snake and some that don't. I want them, I love how they look. Do you have to add them yourself or do they come on every bumper? And if they do come on the bumper, do you have to buy and install the fogs?


Any tips or heads up would be appreciated


Thanks for the help

Are you sure your not talkin about the brake duct bezels in the lower grill?

You can buy them from shelby here:

Just be aware if you're using the Shelby brake bezels, cutting the holes for them is a biotch... They don't install into round holes, the hole saw has to penetrate the lower grille at a very precise angle at the exact right place. The hole on each side ends up oval and offset from the front to the backside by about 3/4"

There's a reason Shelby sells the lower grille predrilled as well...

Hmm so it sounds like I would be better off just buying the grille already pre-cut for the bezels.
