Default Help with Buying New Grille!! Please ASAP

So i am purchasing the GT/CS front bumper from latemodelrestoration.com

I obviously need a new grille because the v6 grille wont fit. i was going to buy the upper and lower Shelby Billet Grilles in gloss black, but when reading the fine print it says a GT grilled is required? Then the housing for the grille is another $200 and something? So i need a GT grille or the Shelby housing?

Thanks

I have the Shelby Upper and Lower grilles (black). The upper grille bolts to the housing (which you also have to purchase) which attaches to the fascia the same as the factory grille. Very nice fit, my only complaint is I do not believe the upper grille is powdercoated....I have a 1/2 dozen small chips already? I bought directly from Shelby and I believe all 3 peices were about $300. Here is a link to some pics of the fascia and grilles after I got done painting the fascia and making some custom driving light/brake ducts for it. I have had them installed for several months, but still haven't gotten around to posting any new pics.

Another option, that I like, but wasn't out when I purchased my set, is that SilerHorse racing has a lower grille for the CS now that matches the Bullitt grille. I have seen this combo and it looks very good also.
