I have the Modern Billet grille and I can say, I hate it. It wasn't worth the money I paid for it. I've had it less than two years and I just bought a Bullitt grille to replace it. It doesn't fit right, what I mean by that is for some odd reason it bulges more in the center than it should and points toward the hood. It also sticks on on the passenger side end more than it does on the driver side, less flush. All the paint is pretty much gone at this point too, but it was wearing off within a few months of having it. Over all, I would not recommend it. You can get the Shelby GT grille and surround from the Shelby store for $100-150. It's brushed aluminum, but you could have it painted for less than the Roush it you wanted to save some money. It has more bars though.

In the picture you can see how it angles upward. Mine isn't the only one I've seen this on. I hate to bad talk American Muscle, because on the whole they are a great company but this product let me down.

Thanks for the input! I see what you mean about it pointing up, that does look weird. But from a few feet back your car sure is Purdy (sig pic)
