9 bar billet front grill pictures please.
Do they scratch? All that extra air but is it just hot air?
|
i haven't noticed any difference with the air flow, but it does open up the edges of the grille, which probably helps a lot. No scratches so far.

there is a lot more airflow than the stock grille...if you look closely at the stock grille, youll see that it has the honeycomb design...within that honeycomb design, you will see that about half of the honeycombs are actual holes to allow air into the engine bay while the remaining honeycombs are not holes at all, just mere plastic mold with a plastic backing...with that in mind, you can compare it to the 9-bar grille that is COMPLETELY open and has nothing to impede air flow into the engine bay...you have pretty much a 200% increase in airflow into the engine bay to be sucked into the air intake by the engine...
as for whether it being hot air or not, the "hot" air that goes into your intake is primarily going to be the air that is already in your engine bay that is heated up by the radiant heat built up from the engine....now, not all the air that goes into your intake is hot, most of the air going into your intake while driving will be the cool air that comes through the front grille and into your engine bay.... i would say the 9-bar will help against heat buildup under the hood to a degree because it will allow greater cool air flow into the engine bay, creating more air pressure and forcing a lot of the hot air in the bay out...this will allow more cool air to flow into your intake over the stock grille.... i hope this helps you! |

I have the same grill as stang-aholic. I will get some pics up today, I got mine from stage 3 motorsports.

your the man!

this is from a magazine. I can't think of the name. Now I know, Mr. Body Kit. anyone here have this one? It's cheaper. |
Yes got mine at Mr BK. It's been awhile and don't have my invoice handy. But I sure didn't pay Roush price it.

hey guys
well im a new member to this forum and needed a little help so here it goes. i have a 08 GT and have just purchased and installed a new CDC billet grill without the fog light cut outs or anyhthing, however i wanted to still have my fog lights. i have seen pictures of people putting them behind the grill and i think they look great. so i looked into how to do that, and i came across a thread that said that all they did was wedge it in there. so if anyone has any help on a more detailed description on how to put it in it would be great. And are the fog lights that they put behind the grill, are they the stock GT fogs"? |
thx Biceps, we help out each other here as much as possible...good luck!@
|
I want to know the quality of Mr. Body Kit. Someone here once say they weren't
good quality. Thanks! |
I have 4 of them here at the shop
http://www.southernmustangparts.com/...h%20403184.jpg Check them out at www.southernmustangparts.com or click below http://www.southernmustangparts.com/...ill-p-482.html Thanks! Ken |
Ken whats the differnce between your and the SSinerts one ? they look exactly the same .... Sorry to kinda throw you under the bus Ive just seen 5 differnt prices HUGE price gaps between each one ... Thanks !
SGT McCauley |
hey guys sorry to try and get you off topic, but anyone with some help trying to put fogs behind these billet grills?
|
I asked that a couple months ago and it turns out there is no real kit for mounting the fogs behind the grill. Only a few people on the forum have done it and they all just made up their own way to mount them.

SGT McCauley Ours is the Roush grill - part#403184 Thanks |
OK...thanks just trying to get a handel on whats what...As the consumer if I can get it for less then obviuosly im leaning toward the cheaper .. BUT if its CRAPPY quality then ILL ALWAYS pay the higher of the two ...not sure if anyone understand the issue ...sorry for ranting !
|
It might be that the cheaper ones are overlays that just clip on to the stock honeycomb grill and the more expensive ones are actual replacements, but that is all I can think of.
|
Thanks for the help about the stealth mounting
|
The Roush grille is a high quality piece (I had one once). The only problem is the increased airflow. It would scare me half to death driving on the interstate into a head wind. The hood would bounce up and down. If you were gonna get one of the billet grilles that is a full replacement (like the Roush), I would suggest functional hood pins. The look is great, but some rattle can is necessary.
|
That's really great advice, much appreciated
|
that looks great... and my buddy had a bad experience w/ SS and said the had the worst customer service he has ever dealt w/

funny how some of these people never come back. I'm going to call Body Kit and see what the difference is. I probably just pay for the roush and know I'm getting the best. |

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...gdelete_2l.jpg The price difference is over a hundred dollars. Which I knew if this is pron to scratching. |
I didn't have any problems with mine scratching when I had it on. It was on for at least 4 months.

+1 75+ on Interstate and you'll think your hood latch has come loose. |

|
