Default Roush Facsia/Boss Grille. *Pics*

I found a smoking deal on a Kona Blue Roush Bumper and have been eyeballing the Boss grille for a few weeks. So I pulled the trigger!

Roush Facsia - $300 (ebay)
Fogs lights - $109 (CJ pony parts)
HOD H10 Bulbs - $40
Boss Grille/emblem - $349 (Blue Oval)
Roush Splitter - $155 (Summit)

Still waiting on the splitter to show up, but the rest is all installed

Looks great brother! Are you going to get the grill painted to match the car like the Boss? How much lower to the ground is the bumper compared to stock?

I'm going to leave it black for now. I think the grille looks too narrow when it's border is painted to match. I kind of like the long narrow look the front end currently has.

Depending on how the Roush splitter fits, it should hang down less than the v6 garb did.

+1...Leaving the grill surround black does give the front a more wider, masculine look...

Really like that boss grille. I wish it weren't quite so expensive, since I did a boss front end revision on my GT as can be seen in my sig, everything is exactly like a GB boss except that grille. $350 for that grille is over 2/3rds the cost of all my other parts combined (grille surround painting, CS fascia, boss street splitter)

Yah, it's a really expensive piece of plastic! haha. I wrestled with the cost for at least a week. I'm glad I bought it now, but

Maybe the price will come down when these Boss cars actually start to hit the road in 2012.
