I've had many inquiries on that cover, I personally DON'T think it will fit but I was told by one individual whom wants to help the test fit that he does have this cover. Eventually we plan on making one of our own in CF and composite material.
Anybody in the area is more then welcome to come take a look. I should be back at home base in Michigan next weekend for any of you guys out there.

jm2005... how about a few pics of your car? I'd like to see the chin spoiler (among other things).

I'm holding out for the Gt500. I'm sure I'll have to come out with a whole new brace for that thing.

Very nice!! I read through that thread... I have a couple questions:

1. You said it is the CDC... is it the agressive or classic version?

2. As far installation, you said it only took five minutes. I assume it snaps over (and covers) the stock portions that hang down on the left and right corners of the bumper??? Otherwise, it wouldn't fit flush in the center. Correct?

it's the classic version...and you are correct it covers the factory portion and attaches with the factory screws on each side and 2 push pins(supplied by CDC) from underneath into factory holes, and 3M tape across the center.

The fit is very nice and extremely easy to install.

jm2005... where did you order it from? I saw it on cal-mustang.com, but it's more than the $261 shipped you paid.
