Default Steeda Competition Front Facia or Roush?

Was interested in putting on the steeda competition front facia w/fog lights but wanted to find some feedback on this piece. It has a more aggressive styling that I like without changing the appearance too much. I seen the one from Roush, but steeda looks a little more pleasing to me.

The Roush has a "plug and play" with the fog lights. The steeda doesn't mention if it will require splicing but steeda seems to be geared more towards functionality while the roush is a mix of looks and function, but does not include the chin spoiler.. Too bad I'm not very fond of the Roush rear end, because it needs to be replaced too. Then I could of done a full body kit.. Need help with the decisions.

I would have a body shop install all this though, that is if they can help me out. Still waiting on word from them.

if you want a full body kit and don't want to use Roush's rear valance.. I recomend the Roush front and sides and the SS rear valance

I realized that the Roush rear will also require a conversion to the exhaust so it may be out of my price range. IMO, the Roush rear looks best on mustangs with color, especially with racing stripes. May look a little bland on silver. Anyhow, it's still open as to which piece to pick.

I can't seem to find the SS rear valance. hmmm. The Roush front and sides look good, though I don't want to look goofy with a Roush front and stock rear, or am I over thinking things??

My vote of course is Steeda

The lower fog light openings can be left alone and used for other purposes and you can keep the factory GT foglights.

Otherwise you would need a separate foglight kit which we list on the site with the fascia. It will have its own wiring harness and switch.

I was considering the front fascia with the extra fog lights installed. Not sure if 4 fog lights would be too much? I am assuming if I keep the stock fog lights, the body shop would have to pull and install a switch in the cabin or can I control all 4 fog lights with the stock switch? What is the norm? Is this front fascia street legal? I seen a notice on the terms and conditions on the Steeda site and I got a little leery.

it's called a Roush 427R I am partial to the whole Roush kit though. I just did the Roush rear valance in September. and the car didn't look bad with just the front and sides.. although it did look like it was missing something IMO.


here is the ss rear valance

it would be cheaper to buy roush, since roush sells all there body parts prepainted.
