I have been thinking about pulling the lower plastic (flat black) grill and painting it high gloss to match since it looks like Ford cheaped out big time.

I was watching a video review of the Bullit on YouTube and the author pointed out the lower grille was high gloss black to match the upper I so ordered it. Looks perfect! Pictures will follow once installed.

Ford part # KR3Z 17K945AA. List price is $343.27.

Honestly, I've been planning on doing the same thing since before I ordered the car. I already painted my side skirts gloss black, and the lower grille is next. I don't want to go bullitt because I like the way the stock lower intake follows the path of the fangs. I'll be modifying it for some brake duct intakes, though.

Side note; if you want to donate your stock lower grille, I'll take it! haha

I think I'd do the opposite and match the finish of the lower spoilers..

A paper bag.....oh sorry I was answering the question.
No really can’t wait to see the pics when it’s done, and hear if everything fit well or if you had to make adjustments.

Is that the Insurance price or the Private Party/Enthusiast price?

OEM MSRP, good guys like Benny @LevittownFordParts can get it for you at much better prices, just check with him first.

Great service and prices, either post in their subforum or shoot him a PM.
