This OE style replacement grill offers a wide mouth design for added performance and cooling benefits. This 2013-2014 Mustang CDC grille utilizes factory mounting points, and offers a factory look and finish! Installation is a breeze but will require some minor cutting. This grill is not reversible after installing it, so make sure this is the one for you!

TOOL LIST-
  • Roll Of Painters Tape
  • Safety Glasses
  • Gloves
  • Body Saw or Hand Saw
  • File or Sandpaper

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
  1. First off take the painters tape and cover the front painted surface of the bumper the length of the grille to protect it while cutting.
  2. To remove the factory grille, grab on each side and firmly pull until the grille releases from the tabs.
  3. Wipe down the surrounding area with a clean rag.
  4. Next using the body saw carefully cut all three mounting brackets for the factory fog lights. File or sand down all rough edges.
  5. Align the new CDC Grille with the factory mounting tabs and apply gentle force until it snaps into place.
  6. Using the supplied push pin install the center bracket to the factory hood release mechanism.
  7. Remove the tape and clean all surfaces and you are done!

Installation took us 20 minutes and was not that bad at all. Just a reminder This kit will also include a set of zip ties, if you are installing this on a factory GT with fog lights you will need to take the harness and put them out of the way.
