Default New 9-bar grille and roush emblem along with a couple other things.....(pics)

Added a few things in the past couple months so i thought id post up for all to see :-)

the most noticeable change was installation of the 9-bar grille and roush square emblem....

i ended up going with the Stack Racing 9-bar grille instead of the Roush 9-bar because the stack racing grille was only $149 shipped and was the better deal compared to roush's 9-bar at over $300 plus shipping.....i ordered it through AM....

the installation instructions were a bit of a mess but we got through it and i am very happy with the finished product.....

if u install one of these on a lighter color car, painting the framework behind the grille with black is a MUST so it doesnt show through....

the roush square emblem on the front was donated to me free of charge by the fellow fnsweeter "familyman" and it was in excellent shape and made the overall look of the grille really mesh with the rest of the car.....thanks again to familyman!

i also installed a shorty antenna...it is only 3.5" tall and reception is excellent....got it off of ebay for $20...

i also installed a decal of my screen name on the front bumper area where you usually see build numbers....i was kinda weary about doing this but after i got it on there, i really loved it! it kinda has a glow to it....

all in all, im very happy with the car.....

Looks real nice man !!
I've had the similar CDC Billet grill on my ride in both brushed Silver and Satin Black flavours but the Silver showing through has always ruined the look. I dunno, i've just not had the nerve to spray the frontal area Black......

Thats sick!

(BTW Does anyone know the guy in your last picture? I see him either admiring the magnetic stuck-on vents, or plotting to tear them off and throw them in the garbage.)

Looking real sharp!! Love the way everything is pulling together. How did you attach the Roush badge to the grill?

the square emblem is attached with trustworthy 3m double sided tape :-)

i remember seeing that guy....by seeing those capris he's wearing id assume he is from the UK...

and yes our stangs were SURROUNDED by stick on vents...discount auto parts is definately making a killing off those LOL

Love the look. I always thought the Roush front looked busy with the fog lights in the grille and the bumper. Just one too many lights. Removing a set has made it look tough.
