Grill replacement

yes pull the bumper off == easy easy install -- best to put the car on ramps and take out the million screws that hold the splitter and undercarriage on.... use a power drill and you will be happy
Definitely a good time to upgrade the heat exchanger since the bumper has to come off.
exactly what i did !
These went in the day after delivery.........................as your new H/E isn't rock proof ! ( $ 60.00 )

I had to do some trimming when I did this mod on my 2012. Another thing you may want to consider is installing some kind of thin black mesh to protect your heat exchanger and radiator from road debris. Recently a bird flew into my heat exchanger on the highway and damaged the fins. Don't get me wrong! This mod looks great, but I'm just trying to give you a heads up so you don't learn the way I did.

Where did you buy and what did you use for the screen? Looks great!
Yeah, where do you get the mesh?
In my opinion, it's mainly just a cosmetic mod. Yeah you may get a little more air flow, but not much to make a difference you can notice. I felt the same way about putting on that mesh but it doesn't look bad at all. I'm installing some after I purchase another heat exchanger. Here's the link to a site that sales them, http://www.customcargrills.com/proddetail.asp?prod=13_Mustang_GT500

Did you guys order the flat black or gloss?
I haven't purchased mine yet, but that looks like a flat black.

Flat.
If you order, ask for the 1" taller lower insert, you'll understand when you put it in.

As to your question, " what's the point ", I agree..........................but in my case, I had no choice.
The open grille area was the one thing I didn't like about the 13/14 MY's.
Have read several threads about damaged heat exchangers, decided I wouldn't be one of them.
Thanks Mang....
