I got one from Cervini, a bit steep at $250+ and no lower grill. I believe it's made for their Eleanor bumper, I had to have the upper mounting tabs removed and re-welded in order to make the install clean. Also had to drill two holes on the bumper to mount the lower tabs. The holes will not be exposed if I decide to go back to the stock grill so no big deal. The grill came with the tri-bar pony mounted on the drivers side but I replaced it with a larger black pony and mounted it center of the grill. I spray painted the components behind the grill black so that it doesn't stand out. Here's some pics

Was it easy to install.????... wasit the bolt over the existing grille....I'm a novice to moding and it has to be simple and with instructions for me to do.

Well, you need to find a V6 grill and the V6 billet grill in order to replicate how i did my grill... it wasnt easy.. but almost every billet grill is a simple nut and bolt... that has a hook on the end to grab inside the honeycomb so that it doesnt come loose... the company i bought my grill from they include easy to read instructions with pictures to help the ease of installing your grill... start off with either a grill made for the GT or a complete grill shell itself for the GT..

I'm using the Cervini's Grill as well, easy install just need to drill a few holes. Definately worth the two holes, I love the grill just miss my foggies.
