Rygen,

I think it looks fantastic!

How would you evaluate the fit and finish? I've seen mixed reviews posted, and that has kept me from ordering the regular GT style grill shell.

Thanks.

Thanks Dean! I realized I should have put this in a different section so the GT guys can have a look, since I have GT bumpers and all.

Ok, the finish is pretty nice actually. Its black chrome, but it is not as sturdy as the stock GT grille. So there were a few places I had to bend it back into shape, make the fit a bit cleaner. As for the fog light mounds, it was easy to do. I need to do a few more tweaks to the fitment in the grille, but all in all I am very happy with it. I did a rush job on it last night in literally 15 minutes and need to go back and double check all the mounting tabs. I was in a rush trying to get pics before it got dark out.

Tonight I will spend more time on it....after I finish the Turbo BOV video for everyone here. OH yea, here are some day light shots:

There was a fitment issue, the socket for the driver side fog was pressing against the frame, while the passanger side fog wasn't, so it sat back a tad bit more. The end result was not a perfect fit!!!! The pics above show this, but barely. However, it drove me nuts, so a few days ago, I cut one of the tabs to the light socket fitting, and put it in with the wire pointing towards the driver side instead of the stock passange side. This aloud the socket to clear the frame of the car, and the grille to fit perfect.

I got it from mustangsunlimited.com. It was a easy install, but keep in mind I have the GT bumper. Street Scene hasn't released the V6 bumper version, but they are about to. Afixer was the test car for it, so he should have some details on it.

Looks really good man, I love the way the lights match up perfectly with the racing stripes. Really gives the whole thing a sleek look.

From now on you need to start it in dark alleys so people just hear the roar and see 4 huge lights.
