I'm installing the GT grille on my V6 tonight (removing the pony package grille). Any tips for installation? It should be fairly easy, but the easiest tasks always end up being the biggest pain.
Thanks for any info you can provide.

Ya, I'm going to be installing mine soon also. Did you get the Roush grille with the foglights or the roush grille blanked out.

i didn't think you could put the gt grille on the v6?
You are absolutely right..... The GT grille is way too big.... It would have been nice if the parts guy at the dealer would've told me that when I ordered it. I hope I can return this stuff, or else I have 400 bucks worth of crap I can't use. We shall see....

I just got the grille and I'll be getting rid of the fogs since I got HID's installed. I love the look of the roush complete bumper but I just got stripes done on the stock ones.

Roush has a Grill with Fog lights I thought Roushs with fogs where just the GT stock grills, and I knew they had a grill with no emblem or fog lights! Hmm I wish I could get over the thought of giving up my Fogs because I love the Blank Roush Grill!

To pull the facia, I did this tonight, remove the black splash shield under the front end (two pieces) by removing the little 5.5mm screws. Then there is a 10mm bolt inboard of each head light on the top, remove those, lift up a little on the facia to disengage the front enough to unplug the fog lights. In the fender wells, remove the bottom two bolts at the front on each side. Unplug the side marker lamps from under where the splash shiels used to be. Peel the facia out from the wheel wells on each side, then the whole facia should lift off. You can do all your grill work then. The grill is held in place by a bunch of tabs inside the facia. It only took about thirty minutes to remove the facia.

thanks for the info! Is an extra person needed or is the fascia light enough for one person? Thanks

Well I sure hope you get your money back but I wouldn't sweat the grill not fitting. Your car looks great like it is.
