Default Mach 1 Grille Delete

Alright, so i've seen a couple of these for different prices ranging from $45-$100 and was wondering are they any different in quality.
There's the 3 piece one that mustangtuning.com says is the real "authentic" delete, but then theres others on ebay and 50resto.com that are 2 piece.

So any one know whats up with this and maybe have pics of one or the other???

Thanks

3 piece kit, ordered it from Ford with 2 sets of all the fasteners and pins. You need to cut the factory screws that hold the honeycomb on (under the bumber cover) 1/2" or they will come through the mach one cover. Also, get some 1/4" plastic bushings. Take a look at this link

I paid $127 for everything and got OEM stuff no BS, had it the next day.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll save up and spend the money. Did you install it yourself because everytime I try an install myself I always somehow f*ck it up.

...and just for the record anyone have any experience with the cheaper ones.

After studying the pictures of kits on ebay, I decided that the only difference was the sellers advertising the "7 piece" set were including every screw and piece of hardware, the sellers advertising the 3 piece/2 piece were not, and only including the large pieces (Although they also advertised that they included hardware)

It is weird though, the kits at Mustangtuning.com...one for $49 and one for $99, I couldn't tell a difference at all...

I'm hoping for some more educated responses on this as well.

the 2 piece kit has the little black cover to cover the holes and it has the pony. the 3 piece has the little black radiator cover. the radiator cover is not nessasary but if i got a kit i would get one w/ it.

Yeah, I can't believe it's $50 more for a POS plastic piece.

get the 3 piece kit. It looks alot cleaner IMO. Get OEM Stuff is my recommendation. It costs alitlle more. some guy just took everything off and got 4 plugs for the holes.
