You have to buy a grill delete kit. Get the 3-piece kit.

You have to buy the kit, the Mach 1 Grille Delete.

You can get a good one on eBay, make sure it is the 3 piece though.

And if you would like to change the horse in the middle hit up http://www.autobadges.com

Here is a write up on how to install the kit.
Mach 1 Grille Delete Instructions
Tools required:
* Phillips Screw Driver
* 7mm Socket
* Ratchet

Removing the stock grille from the car:

First, you need to remove the 4 retaining screws on the top of the factory grille, as well as removing the two retaining screws that hold down the stock fascia. This is fairly simple to do, but take your time, as you do not want to scratch your paint.

Next, tilt the factory corral forward just enough so you can get to the four 7mm bolts that hold the factory corral grille at the bottom.

Congrats, you are now halfway done!

Installing the Three Piece Mach 1 Grille Delete Kit:

Take the backing piece (the one with the two circular holes) and install that using the two plastic retainers in the lower corners of the delete kit. Next, take the bottom lip of the delete kit and insert the two plastic retainers into the top of the fascia. Line up the four studs at the base and place them into the factory drilled holes in the bumper and secure them with fascia tabs. Finally, take the pony and mount it into the rear bracket using two screws. We suggest going to your local Ford dealer and getting a set of factory security torx bit screws so that your pony cannot be stolen off of your car.

the differenece isnt quality...it is 1 piece. the 2 piece comes w/ the horse w/ bracket and the lower piece that covers the hole in the bumper. the 3 piece comes w/ those 2 plus a back plastic piece that cleans it up a lot and it is a true mach 1 kit.

the 2 peice come with the pony and the black part that goes under the horse. The kit that has 3 has the 2 and then a part that goes over the silver part that is behind the pony. I got the kit with 2 and i think it looks great.
