front grille minus pony

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anybody has seen replacement grille for GT's without the pony. I want to keep the fog lamps in factory location but just remove the pony. I thought about just removing it from the stock grille but since it has the pony shape molded into it I dont think it would look good. has anybody seen anything like this or have any opinions about how it would look

Actually, international law forbids removing the pony from Mustangs. If you attempt to do so, microwave messages are flashed to comm satellites. The FBI, CIA, DIA, Interpol, Russian Federal Security Service and Pakistani Intelligence are all notified immediately. An APB is issued, and courts across the country will crank out a blizzard of bench warrants for your arrest.

Once your easily-spotted car is stopped and you are arrested, you will be incarcerated after a huge show trial, condemned to a lifetime of burning girl scouts at the stake, cookie boxes still clutched in their hands, while muttering arcane verses from various Chevrolet sales brochures.

Truly a fate worse then death.

Touch not the pony.

That's great! You should write Hallmark greeting cards.

Yeah, get an asbestos jacket to protect you from the flames! To answer your question, I saw a post over the last week or two of a grill shown at SEMA that I believe is slated for the new Bullit, but I'm not 100% positive. If I come across it again I'll add a link here...


Found it...

It is due out on the Bullit as seen at Sema.

c'mon Paris, tell us what you really think! Wow, that's some pony-love! I, too, love the pony, but think the front end can get kinda busy. I added the Ca. Dream hood, which added detail to the front. That necessitated hood pins, which aren't exactly subtle. My wonderful dealership added a front plate despite my warnings, further complicating the nose of the car. I added tint to the fogs to subdue them a bit, and have considered the center fogs, just to eliminate the pony subtract one element from the busy front end. I haven't done it yet, but I hate to waste girl scout cookies, so maybe I'll let the horse stay.

In the event you change your grille to center fogs or go with an aftermarket grille, interstellar law requires you place another pony on the grille, like, for example, the 1969-style pony and tribar offset to the drivers' side.

Failure to comply results in the Starship Enterprise, Battlestar Galactica, and assorted Imperial Star Destoyers (I'm talking about the big Corellian ships) hunting you down with various senors and Dradus. This will be shortly followed by a pinpoint "shock and awe" assault with more free-energy weapons than I care to think about.

This attack will leave your Mustang unharmed, so that someone else may place the appropriate pony on the front grille. You, however, will regrettably be reduced to a thin cloud of dissassociated atomic particles, gradually drifting away in the breeze generated by the super-heated atmosphere caused by the aforementioned gaggle of free-energy weaponry.

Only the 1979-1993 Fox-bodies are exempted from these statutes.

Only you can save your own life here. Really.

Touch not the pony.

I know of just such a grille, but due to emminent danger beyond my control I will remain content in my unshared knowledge and take it to my grave....

Actually, the Bullitt grill shown at SEMA doesn't have fog lights in it at all. Here's the pic I took on the first day.

I'll have to look, but I thought someone like Street Scenes or Cervinis was making a grill with the fogs, but no pony.

That is sad to see - so many lives could be lost needlessly.

I, too, am looking for a new grill to eliminate the pony. And don't kill me, I don't plan on putting on a tri-bar pony either. I like the clean look. I'm not thrilled about any center fog set-up or billet grills because I want to keep the fogs. Here's some that I found:

And this one in a for sale thread:

I like the one from agentfourtyseven but 289 plus shipping seems expensive.

I have not seen a replacement grille for GT using the fog lights in the same location. You're welcome to check these Mustang GT Grilles.
