Ok that is good to hear, I will probably order one asap.

shelby has got some cool grilles with airvents in them for the brakes. I think that would look awesome if you got one of those

But would they fit? Could you link me to what you are thinking about?

The lower grille should align it correctly.

Good luck.
I agree!!

fyi its the same gt500 lower grill with brake duct bezels, just has holes cut out in them.

u can buy the lower gt500 lower grille for like $120 and the brake duct bezels for $120.

the grille with holes precut is also available for like $220

I agree, the GT500 grille looks about 2 inches to big on either side. Notice how close the grille is to the blinkers on the GT500 grille.
