Hey everyone,

I have upper and lower GT500 grilles for sale. They are the OEM Ford parts (not the replicas) and are painted gloss black. The upper grille has a Coyote 5.0 badge on it, which can be removed if you prefer to go badge-less or want to put the Cobra emblem. These grilles will fit 2010 - 2014 GT500s; upper grille fits 2013-2014 V6 and GTs (will need GT500 bumper for lower grille); 2010-2012 V6 and GTs will need to upgrade to GT500 front end (will not fit stock front end).

These grilles were purchased by a friend of my brother's, who never put them on and sold them to my brother, who also never put them on. Asking price is $300, way below the going price for new Ford OEM parts. Any comments/questions, feel free to post below or PM me.

OEM 13/14 grilles are not painted, gloss black or anything else..

Where in my post did I mention that they’re painted from the factory? That’s right, nowhere.

I just made mention that they are OEM parts that are painted. Not that they’re painted from the factory. Here’s a shocking fact for you: OEM parts can be painted...

A little reading comprehension goes a long way.

" When referring to auto parts, OEM refers to the manufacturer of the original equipment, that is, the parts assembled and installed during the construction of a new vehicle. "

Your parts were OEM,................right up to the point that they were painted !!

Ahhh, Wikipedia. Such a great resource...

Please tell all the guys on these forums who have painted their rear valances, side skirts, grilles, etc., that as soon as the first drop of paint landed on their parts it stopped being a Ford OEM part. Tell the guys who have painted stripes on their cars that their bumpers, hoods, roofs, and trunks are no longer Ford OE, that they are now aftermarket parts because non-factory paint touched it.

I get what you're doing and what you're thinking. "What?! Those aren't real GT500 parts! Mine are real GT500 parts! Let me tell OP that his parts are fake because I have a GT500 and he doesn't!!!"

Seriously, just stop. Yes, you have a GT500 and I don't, good for you. Your car is better than mine; I know it, you know it, Donald Trump knows it, everyone knows it. These grilles obviously aren't for you, so have some respect and just ignore it if you don't plan on partaking on what this section of the forum is meant for (selling/buying parts). If you really wanna discuss how they aren't OEM because they were painted after the fact, that is more of a discussion for the Off Topic section. Or if you're really itching to tell me how you're offended that my parts are fake because you have a GT500 and I don't, hell, go ahead and PM me. Just please get off my post if you're not going to contribute anything of worth.

Anyway, that's the end of my rant; I'll just ignore you if you post on here again. I really don't get why people like you get a rise out of trying to put other people down over stupid things that, truthfully, don't even matter...
