Default Ok, who has the cobra grille insert installed? Lets see pics...

Ok, thinking about getting a Cervini's one of these for 2 reasons...

#1 - i think the car looks a whole lot better with this little modification... i plan on getting the car painted soon and think it would be a good mod to make cause of #2

#2 - provides better cooling...

Quick question, does the grille insert need to be filled into the existing GT bumper? I've never actually seen a car with this mod done, only real cobras, so I dont know, which is why im asking you... I dont wanna do it if it looks out of place ya know?

I have one, It needs to be molded into the bumper for it to look correctly, it comes with 2 screws and double sided tape which doesnt work at all

That's what mine is on with, and i've had it for 2 years now and looks great. Make sure you put the pony on before you attach the grille to the car.

yup. And it's REALLY hard to get that screw in if it's on already.

Here is the kicker... Let's see a pic of one installed on an LX....... Much harder to do and I don't know where to begin.
