Default curvature of grille

Some weeks ago, I posted a question about the curvature of the bottom of my grille. It is just the stock V6 grille without the Pony Package. On each edge, the bottom of the grille is curved upward so that there is a gap. Some other people said they had the same problem. Do you think that Ford would consider this a warranty issue? Or would they say that it has been damaged in some way?

Can you post a picture of the grille problem? I am having a hard time picturing what you are talking about. A picture is worth 1,000 words.

i know EXACTLY what you are talking about. i have the same issue but havent payed much mind to it since its nothing critical or noticeable on my black stang unless you're standing next to it. if it can be covered or replaced by ford, i'll definitely get it replaced.

Speaking of aftermarket, have you seen the grilles that have just a small pony emblem off to the side? There is no large "chrome" pony in the middle, just the small pony and that is the only thing on the grille? Where do I get one of those?

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


about half way down the page on the left is the grill


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

bottom of the page on the left is the emblem i got, the emblem is on a bracket, the bracket just bolts to the grill, then the emblem has 3M tape on the back, and it goes right on it, takes about 30 seconds
