I had the same problem as Dark Fire GT. I used a dremel tool and cut some of the metal out. I got mine from 50resto.com. Took less than 2 days to get to me since I live so close and it was 130 shipped.

where do you get the Carbon 3D one from? I def don't want to cut anything...



ORIGINAL: DarkFireGT

I'd go with the 3D Carbon one if I were you. The Street Scene one has the lights farther apart, but requires cutting into the car for it to fit properly. The 3D Carbon one pushes the foglights out a bit so no cutting is required.

After doing some research, I don't think mine is Street Scene, but rather KSR. Not sure who KSR is, but here's a very informative thread with a comparison between them. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...ighlight=grill

Mine came from blueovalindustries, who quote "not modifcations necessary". Needless to say, I won't purchase from them again. That's what I get for being cheap.

I can't for the life of me remember who made mine, but after looking at that thread, I'm 100% certain it's not 3dCarbon, my lights don't stick out like that.

If it helps, it is EXACTLY 2" from the inside of one bezel to the inside of the other one. I measured, lines up perfectly with the stripes that are being painted as I type this.. :-)


As for cutting/bending metal, etc, I had an issue when I went to put mine in that looked like it was going to cause me to have to do all that crap too. IIRC, the solution was to rotate the bulbs.. ?? Or maybe swap the fog light housings side/side... I don't remember. But it fit, no modification necessary, and looks good.

Mines a Street Scene... Looked like it was going to need upper rad support mods like those but it fit without them... Got it from Stillen for under 165 delivered... Took me maybe 15 minutes to install...

so you have the street scene eleanor style grill, didn't have to cut? Do you have a pic of yours? that's a good price too...

Yes, they do.
You must get one for a V6.
The StreetScene fits perfectly with
no modifications whatsoever.
