Post grille pictures

I'm really close to buying a grille and I'm pretty set on the dg custom grille with hidden fogs and tribar pony off to the side. Let me see what you guys have so I can see my other options.

I'm hesitant about the Shelby grille bc it's and overlay and I don't want to cut my old grille. And I would like to keep the fog lights as much as possible but they could go I guess. That leaves me open to the roush 9 bar and the CDC grille.

Love to see any ideas you guys have!

Trying to figure out what you have now. An overlay goes over, so need for cutting unless you're saying you have a stock V6 grille and are looking to go fogs. If so, and if you like the overlay, you could get a new grille and the overlay. If the overlay is for a V6 Pony Package, get one of those grilles. If it's for a GT, get a conversion grille (V6-size w/ GT fogs) and the overlay should still fit b/c the difference between the two grille sizes is only about an inch, inch and a half. Just make sure you get the right conversion grille (Eleanor style or whatever). If you need a stock GT style, the only one I've found (with the GT lights out to the far ends and not in towards center half a foot like most conversion grilles) is the Street Scene one. I chose that grille b/c of the location of the fogs, but I'm not real hot on the mesh and was going to go overlay, but am trading the car in soon instead. Anyway, here's a pic of the SS conversion grille:



P.S. Those hidden fog kits are pretty cool too.

I don't have a good head on shot, but here's the Agent 47 grille from each side. Maybe this grille w/ some fog light tint?

Thanks! http://www.silverhorseracing.com/car...ategory_id=255

You might have noticed that I painted the vertical bars in my lower grille to match. I never liked the big black opening on the bottom.



Nice Gary!

Ok I've pretty much decided on the black Shelby grille with the housing for it. Like 200 something at parts cheap. Does anyone know how to do the hidden fogs with it? I'm just wondering if it's something easy enough to do myself. I've seen other cars with it
