Looks great!
And I like the Saleen grill -- I have one too. Where did you get it? I thought all the Saleen ones were gone.

Well guys, thanks to your help I was able to successfully complete my quest to lower my Boss without going crazy. The COVID-19 crisis delayed my final execution, but I finally got the car done and was able to take a few pictures. I went with the Ford parts, M-5300-T Spring kit and the Ford M-4264-A Panhard Bar. Installation was pretty straightforward, a buddy of mine let me use a lift in his shop on a Saturday and other than him compressing the springs for the swap on the front I was able to do most of the job myself. The drop in the front was minimal and the drop in the rear satisfactorily closed the wheel well gap that was driving me crazy! Then to the alignment shop to get the thrust angle right and off we go! Hardest part of the upgrade was finding center caps to fit the 20" Rovos wheels. I ended up sourcing the parts separately, the caps from one vendor and the running pony emblems from another. I am very pleased with the look, and the ride. I really appreciate all the input and guidance in steering me in the right direction.

You will notice that I also changed the look of the front of the car. One thing I never liked about these cars when they first came out in 2012 was the faux ducts for the air and brake intakes. I was able to source a Saleen style grill and light kit which could be installed without any modifications to the front bumper cover. I had someone make me the BOSS 302 decal to fit the grill. I think it looks pretty cool.

Here is the car:

Stance looks great. I installed the Ford Performance (blue) Lowering springs and the foglights as well. I personally really like the Boss grill and would never change it out, but the Saleen looks nice on your build. Enjoy!
