Default Grill Replacement

I just bought this grill on Ebay from Blue Oval that came with the fog lights but no switch or wiring harness. Has anyone installed one of these before and where can I get the switch/harness. Here's the link from Ebay...

When I bought it I knew I wasn't getting the wiring/harness. I plan to get that later on. I just need to know if anyone has installed one of these before and if it was a correct fit.

You can get the switch , harness combo from "V6 mustang stuff" one of the sponsors on the home page.

Yeah the Fogs and wiring may not be factory... but that's something that can be addressed later.

I just order mine yesterday from Blue Oval's website after taking a long time deciding between this Grill and a 67 Shelby styled one made by Street Scene listed on V6 Mustand Stuff's site for $160 but without fog lamps.

http://www.v6mustangstuff.com/05Grills.htm.

Mod's so far...
GT take off bumper
Dual Exhaust w/ Custom H Pipe
GT take off mufflers
K&N Filter

Coming soon...
GT Style Grill
18" Bullitt Wheels & Tires
Satin Silver Rocker Panels

the thing i dont like about that blue oval one,IMHO, is that its like a wanna be gt grille (fine) but its like not right. I like the centerSSE one from v6mustangstuff because itskindof different and unique. My preference. also for 75 bux extra for the fogs its only 10 dollars more than the 250 dollar blueovalkit. and with wiring its 309compared to the 450 they charge

Good luck with them, and tell us how they are. Post some pics of them. pics of the blue oval grilleare few and far between

I liked the V6 Mustang Stuff grille too ... like I said... it was tough for me to decide.

But as nonstopred pointed out the Blue Oval's fogs are shifted more to the center, so.... it's not exactly like the factory GT grille, but close. I'm not trying to make my V6 into a GT clone, but I really like some of the GT's features. I think in the end I just couldn't give up the shiny little pony like the one in the center of my V6 grille.

Well I finally got the new grille installed. What I thought would be a one hourjob turned out to be about three hours. I had to relocate the horn to get a good fit. Will post pics soon.
