Ordered the GT Bumper Cover from here:

These are take off, but they are careful in that no major scratches or dents will be on the bumper. Mine didn't come with any that I could see.

You could get a brand new one from Ford, but then you will need to get it painted and it will be more expensive + the paint.

It bolts on directly to the V6 no extra parts needed apart with what you want to do with the grille.

I put the Saleen grill on, http://www.americanmuscle.com/saleen...ille-1012.html

Then I removed the lower GT valance from the bumper and put this on:

Again, no extra parts needed. Everything bolts on with existing hardware to a 2011 V6.

How hard was it to install the Boss/CS lower front fascia? I got the same one, but not sure if I want to do it myself or take it to an auto shop. Thanks

It wasn't hard at all. Take off the one that comes with the GT bumper (2-4 screws if I remember), and the Boss/CS fascia bolts right on. You'll need an extra pair of hands to help get it into place.

I've never worked on cars and I was able to do it in a short period of time with someone holding it and helping to snap it on.

I love how Ford finally made the 6's look very close to the GT's but with just enough differences to set them apart. The 05-09 6's looked like a amphibious car with that front end and wheel offset. '11 and up are nice because they have dual exhaust. Either way, I love that color and rock on with the mods man! Looking good.
