I'm totally diggin it man!!! It just all works together very well, the new front bumper is great and the grill/w light placement is awesome against the strips. Very nice job!!!
BTW, can you tell me about the grill - make, etc? I've yet to do any appearance mods (I have all black - no stripes except pin stripes), but I like the grill enough I am considering it big time. (Of course I'd like to have the bumper too!!!)

I say lose the side stripe, it'll look much cleaner. Other than Performance White 
And Torch Red, Sonic Blue is one of my FAVE colors. Love the new bumper, don't really see many of those front ends

Thanks guys,
The grill is the "GT Eleanor Honeycomb grill from American Muscle.

They have similar a one with the lights closer together, but I chose this one because the fogs line up with my stripes. The Eleanor grill has the same honeycomb pattern as the OEM GT grill. The black plastic is thick and rigid. Feels like a quality piece.
Clear Corner markers & chrome bulbs are from http://www.Stangmods.com
Install was fairly simple. I installed the corner lights in the bumper cover before putting it on the car. They're pretty easy, there are 2 plastic tabs that hold the lights on the outer side, and a slot on the inside that hold them in place.
The bumper cover mounts on the two posts next to the headlights. There are also a couple screw that attach it to the fender well.
I pulled the lights from my previous GT grill and installed them in the new Eleanor grill. Then they just snap into the plastic tabs along the sides and bottom.
After all that I replaced the radiator cover and that was it.
It should be noted that I purchased the GT bumper cover, and the GT grill. The cover will mount to a V6 or GT exactly the same way. What makes them different is the plastic tabs that hold the Grill in place.
On my old factory GT grill, I had to attach it to the V6 bumper with the side tabs only. The lower tabs don't line up, and were cut off for clearance.
