Before you do, go online to Ford Parts and get a quote on the part number. Your price should be 399. That is what they have listed online. Take your quote and see what his price is. If it's better, super, if not, he'll honor the Ford listed price.

nah akdoggie, he was writing to me about a discussion we had many moons ago about this...no worries...but pics?

also, think I figured "valve covers" from this sig statement...what color did you go with? Did you use high temp paint, and if I may ask one more did you clear coat over the paint (high temp)?

I went with the Ford blue, high temp primer (Rustoleum for barbeques), then Duplicolor Ford high heat engine paint. I did use a clear coat (satin) for a nice shine. I have the Ford Racing decals aligned on top. In my garage, you will find a pic of the covers. They are just a pic, not on the car. I'm in the process of doing a write up of the CS/GT front install. I'm just getting over back spasms, so I haven't been doing much this week. I have the front bumper on now, but haven't finished doing the write up or pics. It should be up this weekend.

Hey, new member here, I joined purely because of the wealth of GT/CS bumper knowledge on this forum. its awesome.

how comparable is the kit you bought from the Ford dealer to the one LMR is selling for 429.99?

LMR is selling the Ford kit. There is absolutely no difference. They even have the same Ford part number (6R3Z-6420049AA for the front, 6R3Z6320049BA for the rear bumper) listed on their box. Just price is the difference. Order it online, from Ford, to pickup at your local dealer. They then have to give it to you for the Ford price. Its a win win for you.
