Default GT Grilles

I'm getting a GT bumper with no upper grill on Thursday or Friday.
So I was wanting to see some different grilles that you guys have on your cars. And do any of you know if the Halo fog lights on Ebay are good quality?

Its really between the black billet replacement grill or the OEM GT grill, but I would like to see any grilles that you guys might have. Thanks a lot.

honestly it depends on the look you are going for with the car. I got a GT grille off a forum member that had replaced theirs because I like the look of the car with the fog lights in the grille. AM has a lot of good ones that eliminate the fogs but you need to watch those and make sure what you are ordering is not an overlay but an actual grille.
Have fun

I have the Eleanor grille on mine, but probably would have went with a plain black billett grille if I did it over again. There's a lot of possibilities

I really like yours Alec, its such a hard choice. Lol
Peshields - Yeah I want to do the retro look with her. Thats why I'm leaning toward the Eleanor or black billet grill.

I may have a deal for you. I've been considering replacing my GT grille with fogs for a grille without. I just think I like the bare look better. Can you guys confirm whether her stock V6 grille will fit in place of my GT grille? I would assume it would, but I'm not sure. If we were close enough (I'm in western Oklahoma), we could meet up and swap them out. You would just have to figure out how to wire up the fogs.

The V6 and GT front fascias are different, so the grilles aren't a direct swap. I think a few people have made it work, but it takes some modification.

Thanks for the idea but i think mine is more narrow then the GT grille if you think you could make it work i will be getting a new billet grille to go on the bumper by next week. Just let me know if you would want it.
