what do you think of this grill?
Hey guys. I was playing around a little bit with a pic I got out of the gallery, and I think this looks great! I removed the middle driving lights in the grill, removed the pony emblem, and added a cobra emblem ala GT500. Is there a way to get a mustang GT without the center headlights, and to cleanly remove the center pony emblem from the grill so it is all black like this?

Answer: NO! ...been looking at a way to do this since fall of 2004. This is why I like the Saleen grill but it only fits in their front fascia. I have thought of taking a V6 grill; get another, damaged one, and fab in (carefully, with a serious glue) the center where the pony is. The thing is you cannot paint the grill as it will surely chip and be a maintenance nightmare. I may still try the V6 fabrication option yet. There is some issue with the GT grill and V6 grill not being an exact swap but I don't know th especifics of this yet. If someone has the "real detail" on this pls let me know. ...Jim

Hey fairlane......did you ever give any thought to the Cervini upper grill? I know it's not black, but it is the only grill for the GT's that I seen without the fog lamps.

I'm quite partial to the fog lamps in the grille... So I guess I really can't add any positive input here... Honestly I think most of the aftermarket front facsia makes the car look 'ricey' and not Mustangish in anyway... Though this is one man's opinion against all the rest. lol.

well, all we need to do is have a few guys chip in and get a prototype made by a custom plastics company and away we go! We could offer it with or without the cobra emblem.
