The lights don't look big enough on the first grille. The second looks interesting, but I have never heard of it.

I was about to order the Street Scene grille over the next few weeks.

Be weary, the second grill you are looking at does not use the same mounting tabs as the stock one. It attaches using screws. I checked on one (GT chrome w/halo fog lights)made by the same vendor, and was told this, before I decided not to buy. I didn't want to modify it any further than necessary so I could add my old grill back later if I wanted without making any major changes from the install of the aftermarket grill.

@nonstopred,

sort of off topic, your head light inserts look awesome!!!!! Did you do that yourself or buy them.

The first one looks like they're tucked too far into the side, and they're smaller than GT ones.

I've been eyeing the angel eyes/halo lights for some time. Might look nice on a new stang, might look like ricey crap. However, I've been looking at the lights themselves so I could mount them on my GT grille.

the first grille has that factory look to it even though the lights are smaller than the headlight. it looks as if it is made of a good quality. and the second grille looks like its made by some second hand company. plus IMO the second grille looks too euro and ricey.

plus i don't think angel eyes are rice material. i'm not 100% sure but i'm pretty sure BMW developed them. they were the first cars i saw them with, in germany at that; and from the factory. the're the only car company i think that has angel eyes that come from the factory, aren't they? and BMW's are supposed to be the "ultimate driving machine". i don't think a honda can take a beamer anyday w/ the same mods.

hey spartan6, just warning you, be careful which angel eyes you buy. i knew a buddy with a gt in memphis that saw my angel eyes and then went and bought them. when he tryed to install them the molding for the mounting of them wouldn't fit his car even though they were the right diameter. so just be careful man, i just happened to get lucky....
