Very true, sir! It is not titled as a Roush since I bought it first with A Plan through a dealer our family works with and at the time, they didn't have a production RS. The current RS has significantly less work done to it than mine, as they no longer do body modifications. For the 2012 and earlier, I believe as early as 2010, they made a separate front fascia which allegedly is very low in Cd. Combined with their air splitter, and lower partial grille block (it's more of a styling thing, but to me it is a partial lower grille block), Roush CAI, side splitters, and Roush exhaust, and Mustang GT rims/tires.

The 2013+ RS comes with Mustang GT rims, Roush branded pedal covers, Roush branded center console button, Roush branded floor mats, Roush branded plaque, Roush branded windshield banner, Roush branded gas cap, Roush branded grille, front splitter, lowering springs and more badges.

My work on my vehicle also did not cost +4k to start out with, or by the end.

It's essentially everything functional Roush made for the Mustang on my six, while the 2013+ is everything NON functional put onto a six, for much more. They gave me some badge stickers things, but they are a bit pointless, if you ask me. However now that I think about it, they never sent me the plackard or work order they said they would. Other than my amex bill and some work tags they put in, I don't have any record of it!

And ear plugs would help. It's extremely difficult to not abuse it, but I still have some loud fun, I really get my kick from carving corners and just the whole challenge of it.
