Once they are removed I placed the trim around the pony and marked where they touched the fog bezel inside edge (I used a peice of masking tape to mark the cut off, I left just a hair for adjustment), then cut of the little pieces of the trim bar and took some sand paper and sanded and dry fitted until it was snug and perfect. Once it was fitted, I went and bought a couple of stainless sheet metal screws and some fender washers (big and round with a small hole) and srcrewed the trim snug from behind using the washers to hold it to the OEM grill (the black grill needs to come off in order to screw it all together). I also painted the washers flat black to match the grill so thay can't be seen. The trim has sort of a v-shaped notch in it (from behind) and the screw will set into it once you start the screw. Just be careful that you don't over tighten the screw and crack the chrome trim. The trim is very light weight and won't take much to hold it in place. Once you get the trim you'll understand what I'm talking about. Also, I would wait until you get the trim so you can see what size screw to use and how long it needs to be once you fit the modified trim to the OEM grill. Again, it will take a little observation to figure it out. I went with just 2 screws, some may want to use 4.

I had the Web electric one and it used some weird fasting system that I thought was odd and wasn't very firm (mine wiggled a little when I installed it on my white 06 coupe. Anyway, PM me if you have any specific questions.


very helpful write up

sure, in a perfect world i'd change to the whole pony grill, but since it doesn't fit w major modifications, changes thats just the best i can do to accent the 67/68 look i liked the car for in the first place.

did it pretty much as described. got a used, slightly damaged pp grill off ebay, took off the chrome (plastik) insert and went to town w it.
only used different screw setup. didn't want to take off grill. got 4 long threaded brass screws, cut off head, cut thread in plastic groove of trim, reinforced w epoxy, put fender washers and nuts behind grill (got my phat fingers in there just enough), secured w locktite threadlock. love it.

didn't go for the big light rings, not my cup of tea.

Perfect solution! I had an '06 V6 with the pony package and loved the grille, so now I can give my '06 GT the same look.
