I went with the TRex grill... and I absolutely LOVE it!

If you get one, don't follow the instructions to the letter. They won't tell you to remove the existing grill.... I will tell you that is will be a WHOLE LOT easier an install if you do.

Black out panel.

I did the plastic one... I painted the back side of it black before installing it on my car.. there is a sample of the result.

I finally found some 18" Bullits... Now I have my rims picked out (Anthracite 18x9).

Boy, now if I could get two extra jobs. =p

On the rim subject.... What is the correct offset? 36mm or 45mm? I've seen both.

Never been very interested in rims, so I wouldn't know.

Just curious though, have you thought about new headers to go with the Cervini side exhaust?

From what I understand their exhaust system only includes the mufflers, tips, and pre-bent piping. I've been looking at some headers to put on when I get the exhaust in, but haven't decided on anything yet.

Headers and more serious performance mods will come after the 36k mark. =)

The correct offset for our 05 GTs is 45mm. 36mm will fit just fine, but it will stick out just a little bit. Some people like it and some don't.
I ordered the silver Bullitt wheels from Ford Racing and will have them installed tomorrow (Friday Aug 26).

I can't wait!
