true and good point, that is one reason I just ordered the fog black outs to eliminate them....personally i would love to move the fogs down to bottom fascia

[:'(]Keep it black. Keep it sinister. Esp with the fogs. With the exception of a few choice wheels I hate chrome on the stang.

Ok, but how about making it metal? There is to much plastic on this car. Where is that 3400lbs coming from?

Does anyone know why FORD did not open up the honeycombed grill all the way?If you look there is quite a few of them closed.I would think you would want them all open to get as much cold air as possible in the engine compartment.Has anyone opened these up?If so what did you use? Thanks!
The reason the sides of it are closed ( from the end to the fog light ) is to build higher air pressure and force the air hitting the front of the car through the radiator instead of allowing it to go around the radiator like it would if the grill was completely open on each side.

I actually changed my Grille. I added the SSE black Chrome grille and added a grille cobra (No means going for the poser look, just like the look better) I am not a big fan for the big PONY up front..I did drill hole in the grille after I removed to attach my custome grille insert to the shell. no problems with the hood...I attached a pic to see your alls reaction...again, its not for everyone, I just like this look better...

Have you tried it without the Cobra emblem? I think it would look real cool with just the offset GT emblem.

thats a cool idea.////I might try it without the GT emblem.....I did try it without the Cobra and it looked ok...the GT emblem was just a little too small and looked out of place....the only reason I am trying not to just have the cobra is I am not trying to pass it off as a shelby, that is why I did the gt350 stripes, because I am trying to do enough mods to my stang (probably going to supercharge it) to get 350 RWHP....to match the gt 350....

I heard putting the cobra emblem gives you an extra 10HP
