Default Best BLACK BILLET GRILL?

Anyone used this one?
http://www.v6mustangstuff.com/05Grills.htm

Which one is the best/cheapest? The v6mustangstuff one says it is made of ABS plastic. I want something that will last. Who has a good, affordable BLACK grill replacement? Thanks.

I have the CDC one, its metal and heavy duty. They make it both for GT and V6.

+1 on CDC and the Roush (same grille, just a "Roush" premium price). They're very nicely made.

FWIW, any ABS grille is not "billet," though it may be all-black. Billet is a kind of metal stock. At any rate, unless it's very cheaply made, an ABS grille will likely last a long time, assuming it is not an adhesive/stick-on style grille. You should look for a full replacement grille. You might be able to get a deal on a Ford Bullitt grille...?

Best,

the best thing for rock chips on the grill is a sharpie permanent marker. Works better than the touch up paint and goes unnoticed.

I like the CDC, but are there any cheaper BLACK, METAL options? What about some less expensive, high quality plastic options?

I have a black ABS billet style... I also have a center fog style. I'm planning to go with a CDC when I install my heritage front facia.
