Default Changing the grille

Ok so I have a 2007 v6 with the pony package grille, which is great and all but I am sorta looking for something to change things up abit. There are a ton of options when it comes to grilles but I've narrowed it down to about 2, I just need opinions and even suggestions on which to choose. Heres my ride, and the following are the grilles I'm thinking about.





and the grilles






one more thing to consider is that I plan on putting headlight splitters and hoodpins on too which might go better with one of the grilles as opposed to the other. That being said feel free to comment on whether or not i should even do headlight splitters and hoodpins.

Avoid the billet pony grill cover and get the GT simulated one.
Oh yea, the HALOs were last year....

thanks thats the one I was sorta leading towards. What do you mean the Halos were last year, though? Would the Halos make the installation difficult?

Hey... have you thought about the Shelby version?

Oh out of the two that you listed. I'd go with the bottom one. I don't see to many with that set up. Would set you a little apart from the pack.

I've got that GT style grill without the halos. Great shape.
$50 + shipping. Just find a set of OE fogs, and you're good to go.

Go with the top one, the lower one is too busy. Plus whoever installed it on his car is also a guy who thinks its a good idea to paint a B2 chin spoiler blue, is that really a guy you want to take advice from? Just sayin'...
