Default Grill Help

So I have the stock v6 06 mustang and im starting to work on the exterior. I was convinced on side scoops but now i want to get a new grill with fog lights. Are there any suggestions for this? I was looking at getting this one http://www.americanmuscle.com/2005-v...gs-chrome.html

i think i like the chrome better than the black. Anyways I hate my headlights and want new bulbs. Any suggestions for bulbs that are bright and white or white with a blueish tint? One more thing lol. Would the smoked headlight covers diminish any of the light? Thanks guys. Sorry im just a newb in need

that grill is good... the angel eye fogs sometimes have issues with dimming and burning out. as far as the bulbs are concerned i think luminics has what you want but i'm not sure. If not then get a HID kit for ur headlights.

Its totally your opinion since its your call. If you like it, then get it. I am not a fan though of the grill that you put a link for.

Can you/yall recommend another grill? I would like foglights because I really like that look. And also the HID is perfect but not in my price range lol. Im lookin to get a grill and fog lights for under 300

I've got two GT fog grills for the V6 bumper application.
Both are in excellent condition. $100 + shipping for either.
The Street Scene grill does not have fogs. The other is
the black version of what you linked to. I went to a GT
bumper cover plus grill. V6 bumper cover not included
but available separately.

Yuck. Maybe for the ghetto.

They dont even have it right side up in the picture.

Street Scene Elenor Grill FTW.
And the needed wiring kit and OEM GT headlight switch for the fogs.

The elenor seems to be out of my price range. I wont be using my fog lights all that often if that helps. Ya I heard the lights dim and burn out fast on those. Cant i just get replacement bulbs that will last though?

The Eleanor grill uses the OEM GT FogLight housings.
$159 for the StreetScene version minus the GT fogs
assemblies and the $79 StreetScene fog light wiring harness.....
I have been burning mine for 3 years now and no
diminishing in light output noticed yet. There are
better than OEM Sylvania bulbs. The Sylvania SilverStars
are brighter and fit the OEM housings.
