Default Which Billet Grill to buy?

My question is, who has the best price for a Billet Grille for my 06 GT ragtop? I was thinking about a Roush 9-bar but the over $300 price tag is making me go somewhere else. I read somewhere that Mr. Bodykit.com had a billet grille for $150 shipped but wrote that the bend in the center of the grille was slightly off by a tad. I would rather pay the extra than have a off centered grille. Anyone know where to buy a billet grille for less than $300? I just want a quality prodcut and not an ebay knockoff that sucks...
Thanks,
Roger

I recommend the shelby GT grille and grille housing. I had the CDC which doesnt use a housing and i didnt like it at all. The shelby grille uses a housing that fits in just like the factory grille and the billet grille bolts in to that. Fitment is perfect and its actually a little cheaper.

I just got a black billet grill from MossMuscle.com (a vendor on here; check out there section for discounts). The grill is made by Carriage Works, and is very nice. Alumimum, bolts in place of the stock grill. (the one I got was for a GT for arond $150)
Sorrty, no pics, it's not installed yet.

Is this the grill that's on your car in your sig? Are the light behind it part of the kit. This is exactly what I'd like.

Thanks,

yes thats the grille thats in my sig but the lights behind it do not come with it. the only way to get that look is to be creative, no kits available

Here's another Roush style grill from SSInserts that a guy from TMS installed... good option for that style without the housing.

5speed07GT and the rest of you guys, thanks for the feedback. I just ordered my new billet grille from Shelby with the housing. Anyone interested in buying my stock GT grille? Thanks,
Roger
