Default V6 grilles

I really want a new grille, I have a pony package grille and i honestly dont like the look of it at all. I just cant decide whether I want a billet grille or some sort or one with the bigger fog lights.. I kinda like the centered fog light look too, i just cant really make up my mind. So I just want some opinions on what you think would look good on my car
(i really dont want to spend more than 250$ at the absolute most)

also if you could link me to the grilles you suggest it'd help loads

couple other questions, since i have those pny package fogs- if I were to get a billet grille with no fogs.. what would i do with the wiring from my old fog lights?
And If i bought a gt style fog grille, would i have to buy any different kind of wiring for it to work?

sorry if any questions are unclear, ill try to explain it better if you need me to ha.

I have a V6 without the pony package grille and just recently bought a center fog grille and got halo fog lights to match my halo projector headlights. I like the look of the center fog grille and I think it would look real good with your stripes. The good thing about that grille or any other grille with fogs is that you can use the same wiring to plug into the new grille's fog lights which makes it a lot easier than what I have to do... lol

(I bought the OEM headlight/fog switch and wiring harness, which set me back just as much as the grille and fog lights did... lol)

Is it safe to assume a center fog grille will be easier for him than for base 6ers since he already has the hardware for lights? If so that definitely wouldn't be a bad decision. I like black billet grilles too but I'm not sure it will match well with your stripes. The chrome pony grill by 3D Carbon could be another great choice: http://www.partscheap.com/Mustang_Bi...st-8200-aa.htm
Btw, doesn't that black/blue 2010 GT500 on that sites banner look badass? Thats a great color combo on that car

I agree that deluxe pony grille really clashes with your stripes. Personally, I don't like billet grilles simply because almost every stupid, look at me, overweight SUV owner has one. Fine, leave it on the Navigator, but not on the Mustang.

I actually like the basic pony grille (no extra lights, just the running horse). Sometimes, less is more. Let me know if you need help swapping them out.

Im re-striping my car with some 10" black stripes so a black billet grille might look pretty good. I have the rear blackout too so i could get a little theme going
I like that grille you posted, anywhere that has it black though? im not sure how id like chrome grilles on my car

i think a black billet will look great, although i would leave the current stripes you have.

when i got my car i came with black stripes, took those off and added silver. i love the look of silver stripes on tungsten looks much cleaner.

CDC makes a great black billet grill with or without the pony. I think they sell for maybe $230
