Default Which grille

I cannot decide on a grille...bullit, billet, shelby, agent 47...too many decisions. Evwry time i think ive picked one i change my mind. Has anyone made their own? Shelby sells a grille shell that would make a great start for a custom grille...any thoughts.?

I really like the Shelby grille, the Bullitt is pretty sweet too.
I haven't regretted buying my billet grill either. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those choices. They will all look great on your Mustang.

Nice double thread. I'll just post the same thing I did in the other one. It would be a lot easier with a pic of your car. I'd generally go with the Bullitt or the Roush 9 bar. Just my personal favs.

If you can afford it, the Bullitt grille looks the best IMHO.

My personal choice would be the Agent 47 grille. It gets rid of that cheap plastic look and lets more air flow to the radiator...plus it comes with the cool bat-wing emblem.

I hate when i do that"). Ill get on my laptop and post a pic of my car...shes black wih silver stripes, 20" antracite razors with yokohama sdrives 275/35/20, magnapack axleback, hurat short throw, silverhorse racing rear medalion & gas door, tinted light front and back and shelby hood pins. I have black shelby quarter window covers and black front turn signals that i still need to install. Really want a shaker hood scoop, front grille, splitter and lowering springs to finish off the exterior. Too many mods...not enough money.

Eleanor for me. Did a carshow Saturday and got many comments of how nice the grill looked. It gives it a tough muscle car look. IMO.

The bullit, shelby, roush and agent 47 are all sweet...but expensive I gotta say one big benefit of the elanor is that its fairly inexpensive. Has anyone seen a decent custom grille (handmade) out there anywhere?

Then we get a photo from the side for a grill opinion....COMEON MAN! lol
I'm gonna go with something original....keep it original! If I had to go with one, I would say a polished 9 bar with a pony up front and debadge the sides.
Something kinda different would be the 9 bar painted to match the razors.
