Hi and thank you for your help. I installed a Vicrez GT500 Bumper on my 2019 Mustang GT Premium with PP1.
Can anyone tell me which Under engine Splash panel will fit Vicrez Bumper.
I have tries: GT splash guard, PP1 splash guard and the GT500 splash guard.
NONE OF THESE WILL FIT ANYWHERE CLOSE.
Thank you for your help.

There are 2 bumpers. 15-17 and 18up. Make sure they sent you the correct one.

The order states I received the 2018-2019 bumper. How could I tell if the bumper they went was a 2015-2017?

Hi. Since it is a Replica GT500 Front Bumper, They were last production 2014, and started back up in 2020. I think the first one went to the dealers around August 2020. I don't see how they made the replica so fast since I purchased mine in October 2020?

The mounts on the sides on the 18+ are different, it has a bracket that mounts through the bumper, the 15-17 use garbage pressure bracket the bumper clips into. Thats why the 15to17 guys have trouble with their covers coming loose and 18+ do not. My i5 autohause bumper installed without issue with pp1 splash shield

He's saying Fits 15-17 not made in 15-17. He's saying to check you got a front made to fit your year.

Hi and thank you for your help. after talking with another GT500 bumper company, I reordered a NON-PP1, Regular GT lower splash panel, wheel liners, and they fit very good with the exception of 6 tabs which weren't secured. I fabricated 6 brackets for these tabs. This actually secures the front bumper better than OEM. Very Tight. NOTE: The original Non-PP1 Splash Panel I bought from Amazon was evidently not correct. Probably a nock off from China. This one I bought from Ford.
Thank you
