Before and after pics would be sweet.
I am doubting the claim that this has a significant impact on cooling to anyone with a fan shroud already installed. If I had a low mounted after-cooler, I don't think I would do this mod but again: I'm not sure that it has a major impact. The negative pressure behind the radiator makes more of a difference.

agreed, i did the ranger air damn mod under the front of my car, supposed to add down force. apart from looking good the fan almost never runs at all anymore when im at or above 35 mph.
I did the one from a Bronco but same results as far as cooling went. On the 86, the down force improvement on the nose was VERY noticeable. All of the bobbing and weaving in excess of 100 mph just disappeared. Something else that took me a bit longer to realize was that I wasn't being pushed sideways by trucks at highway speed anymore. It was significantly reduced. Granted, some of that effect has to do with how the inducted cowl hood works too.
I agree. Ive been looking for a scrap LX bumper with a good grille that I can cut out and blend onto my GT bumper.

I actually just messaged a guy on ebay with a junk lx bumper, and he is going to cut the grille area off leaving plenty of excess material for me. Will save me shipping instead of buying a whole bumper. The plan is in action fellas.
Keep in mind I have an '03 Cobra lower grafted onto my car already... But basically its similar to fox Saleens. LX grille with a lower valance. Always liked that look.

Mr Body Kit has mixed LX/GT bumper in production. I dont like the LX trim with the space in the middle. That trim goes all the way across a GT bumper.
I'm honestly not a fan of the total grill delete. Too many years of looking at LX bumpers so it just doesn't look right
Of course, would be cool if someone managed to float a running pony in there like the 03/04 Mach 1 grill

Surprised no one mentioned a grill bar delete kit...
I may go this route....with a mustang horse in the center.
I was considering that route as well, but dont like the way it looks with my termi bumper.
Then again, that is more in line with an actual 03-04 Cobra.
Hell, guy got up off the couch and already cut it up for me. He's getting positive feedback for sure, lol.
Right. Its just not the same. Im going to try the LX idea. If it doesnt pan out, then Im stuck doing the Cobra insert, lol.
