hi all just bought my new 05 mustang but unfortunately do to my age 21 I did not get the gt (you know insurance). I want to install the fog light grill like the gts have. On ebay there are a lot of factory take-off gt grills with the lights installed in them.

is there any thing I would need to do special other than wiring, to install a gt grill in to my mustang
thanks

Yes, you need to know that the front end of the GT and V6 models are not the same. The GT grille is not a bolt-in replacement. If you want to go the easy route, pick up this one:

This guy has already done the work to the grille converting it into a bolt-in replacement. Be aware that the bottom lip of the GT grille does overlap the bumper a bit, but as you can see in the pictures on that auction it's barely noticable.

I saw on another site that Ford may be offering a "pony package" on '06 V6 models that includes a different grille that has the corral around the running horse with spears going out to smaller driving lights. The grille looks incredibly close in appearance to the late 60's stangs that had the GT package.

Not really if you buy this kit it comes with a wiring harness. pretty simple to install. I would recommend buying some 3M double sided tape from Auto Zone to replace the white foam sticky stuff that come with the switch. The only trouble i had with my install is that the Gt grill is slightly larger and kind of a pain of neck, but with some patience it will go right in. I recommend this kit.

Smoov, it appears that's the same kit that I posted a link to, but the user IDs are different. Do you know if it's the same outfit? They even use the same pictures.

Here is the 06 pony grille I mentioned, not sure if this is official or one of those "what if" ideas from Ford.

I think smoov's mustang is on the website.... That looks really nice, and alot cheaper then replacing the whole bumper. Now I want to do it.....[sm=icon_rock.gif]

Hey I got the GT lights and grill as a take off from saleen, and the installation in the V6 is possible and it is a TIGHT fit!, but it improves the front end look.

Street Scenes are working on a V6 replacement setup like the GT grill with lights. There are 4 grill options: black powder coat, black chrome, chrome & brushed aluminum. It should be ready for market end of this month or next month. No pricing has been released yet.

In case you didn't see it, I posted a reply to your "fog lights upgrade" post. It sounds pretty much like I was told. Some go easy, and some go hard. Jim
