Mods Required for Gt-Style Grille on a V6

I'm getting the GT-Style Grille made for my V6 (an EBay one similar to the Amercican Muscle one) and know it will likely require moving or bending the horn bracket and "shaving" (someone else's words) the radiator bracket.

Can someone who knows about this clarify what tool I would use to shave the radiator bracket, and let me know if it is a pain because of tight spaces or bad angle?

Thanks

Sounds like bad product design/quality. The fog lights look too far inward, which is likely why they interfere with the horn. I'd spend a little more and find a better product.

There's plenty of tools that can grind/cut a bracket. A cheap file or hacksaw can probably get the job done, if you don't wanna spend too much on it.

You can relocate the horn really easily with no drilling or anything. And no change in sound

Put the horn bracket right under the hood latch and cut a small piece of radiator support and done!

If you're not comfortable doing it and don't mind spending a little bit more, there's even a kit for it: http://www.dgcustomauto.com/product....categoryId=543

I actually saw one of these grills (the one you're wanting) at work today...Not bad lookin'.
