Default v6 vs. v8 bumper grille

does anyone know the exact difference between the two bumpers for the grille. i want to get the fog light and emblem delete, like the v6, but the one for the gt is like $150 as compared to the v6 for $50, just trying to save money. is it possible to have the v6 grille in the v8 bumper

it is possible. I had a v6 grille in my Parnelli Jones bumper, but it doesn't fit well. the sides and bottom don't match up well and make it look warped. IMO, just get a Bullit grille.

I personally like the pony package grill the best, it looks nice and old school, anyone know if this fits easily on a GT??

the lower insert tabs on the v6 grille are separated differently than the gt grille so obviously they wont line up properly

like said above the tabs are spaced differently. It will fit but not ideally. If you really want one I'll trade you mine. Its in perfect condition, been nice and protected by my overlay

I'd have to agree with everyone that said get the Bullitt grille. It's the best looking option and closest to what you described.
