I say go with what makes you happy. If it were my stang I would delete the side strips and go with the Roush front grill and super snake matte black strips.

i cant get the Roush grill unless i get the GT bumper, correct? I was thinking about going w/ a Black Billet Grille found here: http://www.americanmuscle.com/2010-v...gt-grille.html

Not sure. I thought the grill would fit. Not really a big fan of the grill you have posted from AM because of the pony cutout. Take a look at this one.... http://www.cjponyparts.com/GRILLE-UP...6-2010/p/G105/

I love the super snake stripes in matte black. Not sure how hard out would be waxing her though, do you have to avoid the stripes completely?

I've also weighed the matte black stickers vs having the car painted.

Stickers might be more difficult to wax, but paints going to cost more and won't be removeable.
