Does anyone know if the 2013 GT lower grille is directly interchangeable with the V6 lower grille? I have a V6 and I am playing around with options for grilles.

The front fascia for the GT and V6 is the same so the grilles are interchangeable.

Cool! So now I'm basically down to these two options.

1) Replace my lower grille with a GT one to match a Boss 302 grille for the upper.

2) CDC GT500 style upper. For the lower I like the open look of the Roush lower grille but I havent found one for sale like it. As of now it looks like I'd have to make one myself or something. In my opinion the open style will look better but I don't know how to go about doing a custom lower grille like that or how much it would cost.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Tips?

Roush doesn't sell an open lower grille at all, FYI. The only way would be custom done by you.

There was a post on one of the other mustang forums of a guy doing that. He basically pulled out the lower grille and cut the connecting parts. It looks pretty good but it's permanent and there is no going back.

yeah, on TMS. I'm on there 98% of the time since the 10+ area here couldn't be more dead.

I would imagine the lower grilles from both the GT & v6 are interchangeable. However, the upper grilles do have different grille surrounds. The mounting points change between the GT & v6 grilles, thus making them not interchangeable.

That being said, a GT grille surround will directly swap into any '13 v6 Mustang and allow '13 GT upper grille to be installed on v6 cars. That's you're best bet if you're interested in a GT aftermarket grille that doesn't include a new surround.

Hope this helps!
