The body lines on the SVT and the Mysique above are the same. I'm refering to the bumper and Fender seam. So the SVT bumper should bolt up to the car if there was nothing in the way. Which with the different grill there more than likely would be. This post had me worried since i have to swap a SVT front end over on a Mystique Frame. I'm a little more calm now.
P.S. The fenders are the same. It's one way Ford saved money.

What do you guys think of cutting the grill down to fit? How tough would that be? OR How much work would be required to have the bumper molded to fix? This topic has been tossed around a lot, but nobody seems to be really sure. Yeah, a pic would be very nice fast4drsvt.

Da Seanman, A better option might be to omit the grill and then find a mesh to replace it. To be honest I'd like to find or make a SVT bumper with the Mystiques profile. Instead of the hump in the middle. Anybody want to modify a bumper for me?

All it is (I think) is that the 'stiques headlights/ grille is moved forward about 1 - 2 inches. It should fit, there's no reason that it shouldn't. If you take a look at the dip in the bumper on the 'stique (remove the grill and look) it is exactly the same as the 'tour (regular and SVT)

So really all I would have to do is to make a new Mystique grill and the bumper would fit? That would look phat to have an SVT stique. Now all I need is the SVT body kit.
