Default customizing a grille

http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustan...ille-9904.html


The mach 1 grille delete shows my radiator, which personally im starting to not like cause its not all black. The grillecraft mesh grille in black would cover it up just fine, but I want the mustang coming out still. In the customer pics that black mustang has the pony coming out, did he probably have to custom cut a slot for the pony to come through? the mesh would have to mounted towards the back though so it can give the pony room to come through. The mesh comes in silver, and the other days at a stang show there was a mach with the grillecraft grille and it was black. Did they spray paint or paint it black somehow?
