Default Front End - Before and After (So Far) 2013 Black V6

Blacked out the chrome pony (plastidip (also the rear end emblem as well. see: https://mustangforums.com/forum/v6-s...fications.html)), slapped some hash marks on, and am now Waiting for my Billet Grille to come in to complete my front end (Black to go around the black pony).

I can't wait to get the billet because I dont like the standalone honey comb look. Going to leave the chrome grille surround chrome because I feel it gives the front end depth. Most likely will pick up some signal marker covers for the front end as well.

Next on the list:

-Airaid CAI
-Matte Black quarter window panels
-Third brake light black trim

Once all that comes in I will be complete with mods for her (aside from wheels way down the line). I want to keep it clean, not too much messing around or rinky dink add ons.

Default Updated - With Modern Black Billet Grille

Couldnt be happier with the latest and greatest addition. Makes an unbelievable difference that makes you scratch your head as to why it wouldnt come stock (or at least something better than the deep set honeycomb plastic)...

Let me know what you think!

Not sure. Must be the photos. It's perfectly centered as far as I can tell.

If you decide to purchase the Airaid CAI, make sure you get a custom tune from AM or Brenspeed. Witha stand alone CAI with no custom tune, you will not notice much of a difference, maybe a 5-7 HP increase in the higher RPM ranges. I know from experience. ;-)
