Sorry. Apparently, it's only $210 for the front fascia with foglamps and harness. I didn't check the price for painting for the fascia without because I assumed they would be the same. Weird.

Personally, I like the V6 fascia the best, followed by the GT stock. The Roush is nice, but I think the GT/CS is hideous. Just me, though.

I think the black surround on the GT looks the most like and old muscle car. So many other cars out there has body color paint around the grill.

Yeah, I actually liked my V6 bumper which is why this sucks. But I also really wanted a billet grille (and not a slap-on overlay version) and I so I might as well take this opportunity to get one.

I did buy the CS grille from Ford, but they told me it would not fit into the 2010, and I was wasting my time. They couldn't tell me why though, so I've been operating on the assumption that they were wrong.

I really like dmhines car though, so maybe I should go with the Saleen grille and the GT bumper, and just sell the CS grille.

I think I might do that, and take bluestangs' idea and get this:

plus the CS valence and the Saleen billet grille.

Does the Saleen billet grille require the stock GT surround? Anybody know what other pieces I might need to make this work?

Thanks

We just bought a Grabber Blue GT bumper, grille and fog lights from Newtakeoff.com to put on our 2011 V6. We haven't installed them yet but the video on their website makes it looks pretty easy.
Check them out.

Thanks,
Ken

bluestang, did you replace the lower air deflector? Or just use the V6 one? If you used the stock one, did it match up with the GT bumper?

Where are you located at? I have a stock 2010 GT front bumper and fog lights in my garage that I'd let go for $150 for both. It's black though but all you would need other than paint would be the grill surround as I beleive they are different on the V6 and GT.

If you're somewhat close to central Texas we can possibly work something out. To big for me to ship though

Thanks for the offer black2010, but I'm pretty far from you (Ohio). I actually already ordered a red take-off GT bumper, it's being shipped from Florida. It only cost $160 but the shipping was like $130

No problem. If you go with the GT fogs I've heard that the surround is differnt so you may have to get that part. Good luck on you project :-)
