Default Difference in V6 and GT Aftermarket Grilles...

I want this Grille Minus the HALOs... I will buy it with Halos and remove it, no problem. But I can only find them for the V6. Has anyone seen this style for a GT?

Or does anyone know what the difference is in the V6 and GT Grilles in general?

lol, this might help a little more bro... when i swapped out my V6 grille to my GT for my roush i noticed that the GT grille is actually just a tad bit taller i think, also the mounting point on them are different, the V6 has 5 mounting points wheras the GT has 6, or vice versa, it was a while ago, somebody told me you could put a V6 on a GT or other way around, but would require alot of fabrication, alot more then i think is worth.

so in all, ya different mounting points, and slightly different dimensions...

il help ya look around bro, but no guarantees il find anything...

I want to save money. The A47 is amazing, but the price is also!!! I hate how A47 loves their products so much.

I basically want to get rid of the horse. If I have to go with an overlay to save money then I have no choice for the time being, but I would rather have a replacement since it looks better.

what I am also curious about with them is how are they the only ones with a GT halo grille like that and I can't seem to find a GT one like that anywhere! hmm....
