05-07 grill
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!

I noticed the same thing, thought about taking a 1/2" drill bit to them but just haven't gotten aorund to it yet. Too much other stuff to do, you know. With my luck I'll put the freakin' drill right through the radiator!

I was looking at that today. I thought maybe it was to keep air from pushing up on the hood. It's only the top part in the middle that's closed. One things for sure, the grill is ****in cheap! It should be all chrome.

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...

You got any closer pics of your grill? Preferably with the sun shiny on the front of the car or in the shade?
