Fogless Grill for 2005 GT Mustang

Daniel60 · 10-27-2009, 09:24 AM

there is Classic Designs Concept, Mr. Body Kit, American Muscle, Roush or the Bullitt Grill from Ford. My question is there really any quality differences? Please response. I'm in the middle of making a deal soon!!!!!

I assume you are looking for a billet grill. From what I understand, the Roush billet grill is made by CDC, so those 2 are essentially identical. Also have read less than stellar reviews about mounting issues with the AM billet grill...mainly with the screws.

The Ford Bullitt grill is totally different as it is the same honeycomb plastic as the stock GT grill, but since it is an OEM part, fitment and finish should be identical to the stocker. One more option is the Shelby billet grill, which also is a bit cheaper (~$210).

IMO, you can't go wrong with the CDC, Roush, or Shelby.

thanks for you comments and I believe I concur it's just that American Muscle and Mr. Body Kit is cheaper but I heard that the American Muscle hardware sucks!!!! Does the grill suck personally I don't know. I kind of like the Bullitt but I hate to be a copy cat but it would match my lower grill. I also have removed the "GT" off the side of my front fender. Which makes me look like more of a copy cat.

I just installed the American muscle grill. It is stack racing and the grill quality is good. The hardware is fine the issue is just that the screw heads are too small and pull throught the brackets. Throw some washers on ot and everything is fine. If u go with the blk one be sure to paint the washers black. The hardware that came with the pony emblm is useless though.

Also be prepared to deal with scrachs left behind by the stock grill.

Darn how bad are we talking? Anyone? if you get the bullitt it would just be the same right?

Had my stocker off for while when I installed a center fog grill and had no issues from scratching.
