Default Decided on my first mod. Questions

I am going for appearance only for a while. At least until I am happy. Then I will do the duals and the tuners and all that stuff that confuses the heck outa me!

My first mod shall be::drum roll:: the gt grill! Ok not so exciting.

Here are my questions

First........Where is the best place to get one? I do not NOT want a Gt bumper.
Second...........I checked out street scene. Is that the best place?
Thirdly............How in the heck does the wiring work!?!?!?! Do I run it through the car? Will I have to drill holls and all that? I can't do that stuff!!! I can have my brother wire stuff but how does it work? With the switch and all that!? Are the instructions good?

I would get the street scene grille if you want a proper fit. Street scene also sells a wiring kit, and it's not that difficult to install. I don't think drilling is required, but you do have to poke a hole through the fire wall with a screw driver to run the wire. Real easy to do.

I think I read somewhere that you need the GT bumper in order to fit the GT grille properly. Can someone confirm that for v6stanggoddess?

Silver anti-flamble material between the engine compartment and the cabin of the car. It's like insulation in an attic. I had to poke a hole through mine, did it with a philips head screw driver in a matter of seconds. Your brother should be fine with the install. Just post here if he runs into issues.

PS: Street Scene is comming out with a center fog light kit for the V6 bumper. You know my opinion on that.

Yes you do! But street scene makes a fog light grille that fits the V6 bumper. However.....

..you can cram a GT grille into a V6 bumper, I did it when I first got my car....looked pretty good....but I wasn't 100% happy with it. That was back when West Coast Performance Parts was around, and they were the only shop in town that offered a kit.

well it stinks a little that you cannot buy from Street scene direct. But I emailed them. I guess they will email me back price? And where to buy it?

Just wondering, why don't you want the GT bumper? I live in Louisiana, where we don't have to put a front license plate on. Anyway, I found these on ebay if you plan on doing the dual exhaust. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...QQcmdZViewItem
