Default GT or Solid black Grille?

I need yall opinion,I have a Vista Blue 2009 pony package mustang and do not like the grille at all, I inherited this car from my dad. What do you think would look better a GT grille or solid black grille with the Tri pony emblem.

Thanks in advanced

Depends what you think looks best... A GT grille will not fit the V6 bumper not sure if you know that or not although they do make kits that will fit the V6 and look like a GT grille. Personally I had the GT grille/fogs on my car and I like them but I prefer the much cleaner look of the bullitt grill. I would go with the solid black grille!

Yeah, I would go with the Black grill. I swaped my 3D Carbon one out last weekend because the chrome was peeling, and the plastic was cracking. I went back with my stock one, and was pleasantly surprised with the look.

I too have a VB PP, I got the chrome billet(upper and lower). Liked it, but it was very blingy(is that a word nowadays?). Decided to plastidip the grill, not the bar or coral. I am very happy witht the result. I felt the stock PP grill sat too far back(the honeycomb). Now the black plastidip grill makes the coral and bar "pop". You could go the easier route and buy a black one, but now I have something to talk about!

I like the pony grill - it is reminiscent of the 1966 GT Mustang.

The 2005-09 GT grill has too big of fog lights for me - they aren't bad (I think that the idea behind them was to hint at the 1969 grill), I just prefer the smaller Pony lights because of the throw back look.

I like that plasti-dipped billet bar grill though, I agree that the billett aluminum is too blingy. I may have to try that. The lower grill has just enough of an opening to let a stone through and poke a hole in the heat exchanger for my intercooler - found that out this summer, so I have been trying to find something to fill that in but was concerned about going to the billet bar on the lower and the egg crate up top.
