Black Gorilla nuts, OEM Bullitt lower grille, and just for good measure I added the OEM PP2 lower splitter. So does that make my car a PP1.5 now? :giggle:

I never liked the matte black lower grille. It looked out of place with the gloss black upper grille and having those large flat areas at the ends. Now it looks cohesive.

The PP2 lower splitter is just icing on the cake. As supplied from the factory the front end felt like it was lacking something. I'm quite happy with the new look.

Looks great, I need to do that. How much were the parts?

Installed Mishimoto catch can. Pretty decent fitment. It's easier than I thought to empty, you just have to remove the hoses from the can and get a claw grip down there.

I have the Mishi catch can as well but when I want to empty it I remove the radiator cover and undo the mounting on can. Your method sounds easier but what is a claw grip.

So you undo the hose clamps to each hose, remove both of them, and then you stand sort of perpendicular to the can and reach your left arm down into the cavity, then you should be able to unscrew the can. This may only work if your hands are a certain size, for that I'm not sure. You'd have to try it and see if it works for you. Just be mindful of the low side A/C switch wire that can sometimes be in the way. If you look close in my picture, I zip tied the slack of it to the washer reservoir. The reservoir is a good reference for where you're putting your hand in at first to gain access.

Lower grill is a nice upgrade. I assume you need to pull the bumper cover to install?

US prices are quite different than Canada. Since I already have a PP1, I had most of the parts on my car with the exception of the PP2 upper splitter. I had to drill holes because I was cheap and didn't want to pay for a new splitter. I used the lower splitter to locate where the holes needed to be drilled. My cost converted to US dollars was about $700 US. The Bullitt lower grille is pretty cheap: KR3Z-17K945-AA $165 USD

If you don't have the PP1 model, this would be cost prohibitive. This post by @TicTocTach ( LINK ) shows all the parts if starting from the base model. The PP parts are necessary to be able to secure the lower splitter. Don't bother buying the plastic rivets, or screws, they come in a bag with the PP2 lower splitter.

You'll need a POM rivet tool and some spare rivets: POM Rivet tool & rivet assortment
The plastic rivets that Ford supplies are not the best. Some of the stems snapped before the rivets formed. So I used the beefier rivets across the front to attach the belly pan

Yes, front bumper has to come off. Not hard to do, but time consuming. Have a buddy help manage the large bumper once it's off. The tabs to release the lower grille require quite some effort to unlock. Lower Bullitt grille: KR3Z-17K945-AA $165 USD

I made a payment.
I saw that a paycheck was deposited in my checking account, so I made a principal-only payment on the Mustang loan
and now I have more in my checking account than I owe on my Mustang. 😁

I'll put some Rokblokz on it one day, and Steeda pedals probably
but this major milestone in the payments makes me happy today.
