idk if that's a name brand one, but it looks just like my chrome plastic one...i added a pony emblem from a 99-04 mustang (old school shelby look)

fits good, goes in easy, just be careful not to break a tab (one of mine snapped off, but it didn't make a difference b/c there's so many

Yes It is a Plastic Spec-D Tuning Grill I have it Installed and really like it. ( Black on my car ) Easy to install the hardest part is getting the old grill out but that’s not even that hard. I will pass on some info about some posts I have read that e-bay offers a product like this one but is not a Spec-D Tuning grill cheap made knock-off. I would be sure what I am getting if I were you. The pic you show does not have Spec-D Tuning on it and most sites I have seen it on the pic has there name imbedded in the Pic so you know it is a real product

I have that grille installed, and haven't had any problems with it.

You won't regret it.....I think the only thing I had to do was clip 2 tabs on the top, and make a small opening for the hood release tab.

idk i paid about a hundred bux for upper and lower...it's still just plastic...so in my opinion, both are cheap, just one would be more out of your wallet

That looks really good. Where did you get it and how much did it cost if you don't mind?

hey thanks! (if your spekaing to me that is)

i got it at galpin auto sports....i live near there....they installed it for me, took like 30 minutes tops....

i wanna say it was less than 100 bucks (maybe 150 i dont quite remember, but it wasnt a lot) whole kit and kabodle....it was one of my 1st appearnce mods....looks good with the cdc chin, and without....i have pics of it both ways on my site....my galleries cover the transformation(s) if you will....

if you didnt mean me...then disregard this post...lol....

might have even been 75 bucks..now that i think about it.....

and i reccomend a chin spoiler....while mine is pocked with rock marks that would otherwise be in the bumper...its a nice deflector of road rubble if you will...ill probably paint it again just to bang it up...lol...but tetter the chin spoiler than the bumper....shes my dd.....in a way it the touch paint fromthe stones it give it character....it says i drive her regulalry......and with spirit.....
