Default MEANER FRONT

I want to make the front of my car have more of an agressive look. I was thinking a GT grill since that would be the most noticable change and would fit nicely between the gap of the stripes and headlights and also because I just can't justify paying $200 for a chin spoiler although they do look very good. Anyone have any suggestions on what would be the most noticable change?

I have a satin silver v-6. Bought a GT grill on ebay for $150.
My detailer installed it in 15 minutes.
some alterations to the tabs and clips required.
I have 8" black rallys. Looks nice. Don't have pics yet.
Gives it that euro rally racing look.
If that's what you mean by aggressive.

Your rally stripes appears to stop a bit early...maybe consider headlight blackout (covers) and the GT Grille...the color combo (Black & white) should look very nice together, even a hood scoop!

I know how you feel, But all things considered I went with the chin spoiler,
I looked into the GT front facia but it's not that simple, You have to buy several
other pieces such as inner fender halves, New replacement foam piece, Air deflector
and new plastic attachment push pins, Plus if your new GT takeoff does not include
the grille, well, you see where I'm going? For me it was cut and dry, The chin spoiler
from www.fangperformance.com was my choice, easy installation, and VERY
aggressive looking and a lot less hassle. Just my opinion. Picts below, Good luck!

Go with a chin spoiler and the Street Scenes grille with the center fogs, looks really aggressive! Add a hood scoop if that's not enough for you

Yea the GT grille is a good mod, but over on the 4.6 threads there's been alot of talk about them not fitting in the v6 bumper because the dimensions and angles were different. You might want to look into that before ordering away at parts......

Yep, you have to put relief cuts int he V6 bumper to get them to go. Street Scene makes a GT type grill that fits the V6 bumper natively. They are also comming out with a center fog light kit for the V6. Fang makes a chin spoiler for the V6 that is nearly as aggressive as the CDC chin spoiler for the GT. Other ideas are hood pins, those look bad *** as well.

Good luck and keep us posted.

The front fascia fits fine.

It's seamless:
