Definately let me know about the lower front splitter as well.  I just ordered the upper and lower grilles today.  I would love the splitter to go with them!

What are the parts number that you ordered ? Together with the lower front spitter, will you have the complete 2013 GT500 front ?

The upper grille p/n is: DR3Z-8200-AA and the lower grille is: DR3Z-17K945-AA.   I also ordered a sheet of black powdercoated 80% flow  stainless steel mesh to protect the radiator and h/e.

Interested in the parts source and fit (for MY 2012) for all three pieces: splitter, upper and lower grill. Also wondering about the emblem...seperate item or does the upper grill include it?

The Cobra emblem is separate.  However, the one from the 2012 grille should fit the '13.

I was just told yesterday that the grilles were not interchangeable. Something about the grille openings being 1 inch smaller. I think the bumper area is wider so the grille could be 1" smaller on the bottom side of the top and the top side of the bottom.

I'm very interested to find out if that's accurate or not.

I compared the grille on a '13 Roush Stage 3 with a '12 GT500 and the bumper section on the Roush is DEFINATELY wider. The lower was without a doubt smaller (on the '13) but the upper looked close. I'm just not sure if the Mustang GT (and/or Roush Stage 3) is the same as the GT500 (facia).


Please let us know what you find,

I also measured the tail lights on the Roush Stage 3 (Mustang GT) and they are outwardly identical to the '12 GT500 rear lights. I can't say if they will fit in the pocket but the outside dimensions are the same so it *appears* the rear tail light assemblies will interchange, for those interested in the new LED rear lights.

The roush is based off the GT, not the Shelby.  The GT's front bumper is different.  The part # for the '13 front bumper is the same as the '12's.  Even though the tail lights from the 13 will fit on the 12, there is a point that the 10-12 tail lights come to at the bottom that the 13's don't have.  The 13's are more rounded at the bottom.  Therefore, there will be a small gap at the bottom.  There are plenty of pics of this going around.

So without queston (and/or modification), they DO fit?

COOL!

I was mistaken, the '13 grille comes with the emblem!

Here are the pics......

- It fits perfect
- It comes with the Cobra emblem
- As the grille is totally open there is a part of the bumper in each side that is visble in the background and looks ugly. It would be interesting how is in the 2013. I told the shop guy to paint it in black.
- I hope that when the front is assembled the word "SHELBY" can be seen in the lower grille.
- I will look for more pictures of the 2013 to try to see what is in the background of the grille......in other words, between the grille and the radiator......
