 I appreciate the link but ...
180.00 is way out of my budget 



He is also not offering shipping on the header it says local pick up only
 The 49.99 on the header is reasonable though

I have two; One has one fastener missing but will not hurt installation. I'm asking $150 shipped. Just the header panel.

I also have a perfect one that is $250 shipped. If you want one cheaper than that, you will have to wait and find one at the local jy. It took me 6 months to find the ones I am selling.

You can also use a NA header panel, but it will have a grille, and you will need a set of NA inner marker lights. Your other lights will work though. The NA grille allows for better air flow for both front mount IC and radiator too.

Heres a NA one on my sons car, but I also customized the grille to look like a mustang style opening.

Yes, and smoothend it out with fiberglass work. If you look inside the grille you will se the intercooler to the passenger side.

At the time I couldnt find a Turbo header so I created the next best thing, plus the NA noses are a dime a dozen. I actually like the NA custom nose so much for its looks and functionality, that now I dont want to put the turbo nose back on. Hence they are for sale;)

Well I'm going to hold off on a purchase of a header panel for a little while .
 I got  great deal on a set of turbine wheels and spent some of my money

NA? I assume that abbreviation means Normally Aspirated or something like that...

Lucky you with the Turbines! I want a set for myself but I am just gonna have to wait... Too many other priorities with this car to think about.

Yep NA means naturally aspirated.

Its funny how abreviations can throw you off. For a long time I thought IIRC was some special edition mustang part.LOL!!

That is right about my budget, but I spent half my budget on a set of 5 turbine wheels , So  I'm holding off on the header panel for now
 Thanks for pointing me to it though :D
