Amigo GT500 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 .....and they look great. The only issue is that I have to do something with the brake ducts spigots which are visible in the two outer openings..... Mike R. from Tousley Ford answered about this saying: Both Steve and myself do not believe there are any additional pieces that go behind that panel. I do not see any GT500s here; Once I see one, I'll take a look. We do not see any additional parts in the catalog. I am considering installing the Brake Duct Bezel (2007-2009)......let's see.......here are the pictures... BTW I just installed the Truecarbon hood. It fit perfectly without any adjustments being done. The only that I had to do was cutting the plastic box (1 1/2") around of the air filter in the JLT CAI because it was touching the hood causing a little bend......now is great!!

2sharpie Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Are the brake ducts spigots part of the new lower assembly/grille or are they on all of our cars?? And do you know if the '07-'09 brake duct bezel is a perfect fit?? I think I like the new look ........DAMN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jskup1 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 How long did it take for you to get them? I ordered mine last Friday and nothing yet. I was going to cut out the brake duct section but I'm thinking that maybe I'll paint mine black like yours, install the brake duct kit, but instead of the bezels, install black mesh behind those two openings.

2nd2none Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 looks better than I thought it would. Might have to order these in the future. Is the installation as easy as popping the old out and the new in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmanisin Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Looks great!!! Couple of questions. Where did you purchase it from? Can I place the order online? What did you pay total for everything? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evoviiiyou Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Thanks for posting the pictures as I ordered these front grills to from Tousley Ford last week and Mike said I should have them on Tuesday. The cool thing is my car is white as well, so I REALLY got a good preview. Looks great and I am happy with my choice! Someone stated that you painted the brake spigots? Aren't they already black plastic? Just checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Amigo -- I checked out your other thread too. Your car looks great .......... I guess I will be doing this! On my 2010 GT500..... Phill Thanks Phil..........did you have a thread on doing it to our '10's ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 yes, very easy......... Thanks for posting the pics Amigo! That turned out great. You and 2sharpie have two of the most distinct GT500's out there! I remember reading somewhere that the grilles were a major pain to remove and not a simple pop-out task. I think it was from someone that put in a heat exchanger and had the front end cover off. It'd be great if they simply pull out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Your car looks great .......... I guess I will be doing this! hehe...I think I'm going to get these grilles too...after looking at the pics again...I really like the change in look. And the brake ducts don't look bad at all once painted black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evoviiiyou Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yes. they were black because is part of the bumper....and were painted in black I saw your other thread. Thank you for posting this and preparing me. Since my Shelby is white also, I will go your route and paint these "bracket with holes" flat black. Did your guy prep those before he painted? Sanding etc...? In your other pics, looks like the 13 has a plastic piece back there that directs the air to the HE, I am betting since there is no part number for these plastic pieces that they are built into the bumper of the 13's just like the brake cooling brackets are built into the 12 bumpers...

A little pry here, a little pry there and POP! Well, once you pull the front facia off the car they come out pretty easily. I don't think I'd try it without pulling the facia and the facia is cake to pull. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks Phil..........did you have a thread on doing it to our '10's ?? No, I don't. But I did take some step-by-step photos along the way that I could post. They just show the progress rather than the proceedure. Kind'a hard to take a pic while using a die-grinder!
