Default Billet Grille Overlay - Need Tech Help

Hey guys n gals i need some advice here. I just got my Pony Delete Billet Grille Overlay today but need some help.

The Instructions are very blunt, they only say that i have to "Cut out the Pony Logo". What tools did you guys use? and how about did you do it with out damaging anything?

Here is the grille i have now:


So is there any easy way to do this? Have any of you done this first hand?

All tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated, i want to install this asap! =)

I have the same grill billet grill. I had to pop the stock plastic grill out. Then you can remove the chrome pony and inlays. Then took a grinder and shaved all the raised parts down the billet grill out fit flush. Smooth shaved areas out. Bolt the billet grill on over the now shaved stock grill and you good to go and boy does it look get. Hope you got the lower one to!

I hate to poo-poo on something a fellow stanger has already spent his hard earned money on, but that's true. Overlays are cheap and they look cheaper. The killer is the way they have to have a high number of horizontal slats to hide the grill underneath.

Sorry Bro, but if you haven't already done it, consider selling it on and saving for a real one.

I speak not as somebody trying to **** you off, but as a fellow stanger who already took the cheaper route in the past on a few things and ended up spending even more to buy what I should have bought later on.

this is giving me the squirts.
In the end you have a forked up
OEM grill and a cheapo overlay
on top of your 'exacto knife' work.

not good

Its been a buyers remorse subject round here

$119 Overlays just look like that, $119 overlays

get something to increase the HP
level and leave the appearance
trim to Ford... FTW that is...

I gotta side with the guys that don't like the over-lays. Tried it on the 2005 and hated it....On the 2010 I went ahead and bought the real deal. Looked so much better.....
