Default Did you change your grille?

Went to purchase an Agent 47 upper grille this week and found out that it has been discontinued. I guess with the new styling it was inevitable. If anyone has their old 05-09 GT grille laying around, I'd be interested in purchasing it. I'm going to try and modify it in a similar way.

Really? I saw the agent 47 grille listed on a ton of sites on Monday, I don't see it on as many today though, but still a few.

I originally placed the order with Stillen. They are the ones that told me it was discontinued. Confirmed it with Agent 47 yesterday. So unless there's a vendor with a few on a shelf somewhere, I'm S.O.L. Guess I Should've ordered one long ago.

I'm going to get new driving lights for my grille and can't decide on smoked lights or tinted covers. Does anyone know how dark the tinted lenses are compared to the covers? I saw the video on American Muscle and the tinted covers look pretty seamless when they are installed. Plus they would also protect the lenses from rocks as well.

Ford-a-tude,

I believe the tinted fog light lenses aren't quite as dark as the smoked fog light covers. I think I would go with the covers though, only because it does gives you some protection against small rocks, especially on the highway or interstate. It really depends on how much you use your fog lights for actually lighting the way. If you feel your headlights shine enough light, then definitely go with the fog light covers!

Hope this helps!

Just because it's listed on several sites doesn't mean it's available. I went through that same merri-go-round trying to locate a part a few weeks ago.

Yep, there are still Agent 47 grills out there in someones stock.
Use the INTERNET to find one and avoid the Agent 47 website.

If you stumble across a SLP exhaust system for a 09 V6 Challenger, let me know. I have not been able to locate one of those systems.
They have been discontinued as well...
