EPP Hot Pipes installed along with my Alky Control dual nozzles m10 and m5. I installed them just after the IAT sensor. I guess that doesn't matter as the meth bungs are well before it. Post IAT sensor used to be a critical detail when people first started getting meth injection so I went with tradition. My engine bay needs a good degreasing but it still looks lovely now! I also decided not to cover the meth lines with loom...I like the "all natural" look lol!
A couple years ago I cut my stock grille and made what you see today. As of late I can't stop thinking about a grille delete look like some of the mustangs out there so I decided to do my version. Leaving the grille shell and removing the mesh. Felt very wrong but I got my front grille mesh out. I had it in there with windshield urethane....almost gave up but once I got it started it was doable. In anticipation for not having mesh anymore I scuffed up my front impact bar and rattle canned it with Rustoleum paint and primer gloss black. I attempted to install my Derale cooler and mocked up where it will go...before thinking I was missing parts...this morning I found the missing AN fittings. I'll get this installed later today as well as mock up where my front splitter rods will go. Install my left rear lateral arm then off to get an inspection tomorrow am. The guy who removed my 3rd cat is also doing the inspection...funny that he failed me for the rear reinforcement bar and play in the lateral arm but who am I to argue. It needed it so all good to go now. Of course I'll save my mesh as I tend to change my mind plus the mesh is colored matches in Tuxedo Black.
Also after all the (RD) of my new turbos and data logging with my front chin spoiler off and splash guard off my front tires have chewed the crap out of the front fender liners. I have replacements and will replace once I get the front chin back on with the new splitter I'm making myself.

Those suckers are pricey! I've seen them before. I think it depends on what else you got going on with it. I think it looks odd on the Silver SHO but on the Red SHO it looks good...looks like the Red SHO has lightly smoked headlights. We'll see how this grille delete looks. I think with seeing in and seeing a bunch of trans lines and coolers it will have a cool mechanical look. And look less like a Taurus.

I found his after I made mine. I would have bought his if I knew but making my own was a big step and one I do not regret. It came out great along with a sense of pride. I dug up these old pics of my before and after grille project. I also purchased a used lower grille that did not have ACC and swapped my ACC cover out with the open mesh from the used lower grille. Only once in a blue moon does my exposed ACC give off an error code. At that time it was plasti dipped black and the mesh was gloss black and an All Fit Automotive lip. Then had the grille and mesh painted Tuxedo Black and the front chin spoiler replaced the plastic lip. I actually look the rugged look of the pre paint matched grille and rubber lip with my funky carbon fiber vinyl eyebrows I put over the smoked headlight tint
