They stole my idea to put a tribar pony on the fender!

Edit: The front really looks great. How many '05 V6 owners are going to be getting that grill I wonder?

Still not liking the new fogs, they look so small, and the poor pony is back in the corral............

That's much better. You get a better vision of the whole package. Yesterday's close-up of the grill made the light bar and corral a tad overwhelming. It's much more balanced overall.

The grill almost works.

Center bar is nice.

The fogs need to be 1-1/2" larger.


The pony badge does it

I think the smaller fogs are perfect.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it's got grille-mounted foglamps and a rocker panel tape stripe--the signature of a 1965-1968 Mustang GT.

I love that grill!!! I think if I was buying my Stang again it would have been a V6 Tungsten grey with the red leather. That car is sweet. I cant believe Ford didnt modify the GT grill. If I wasnt moving to Greece I would be buying that grill for sure for my GT. What a classic look!!!!! I think still might by that grill and just take it with me to have something in memory of the Mustang. LOL Ford has done one heck of a job with this car. For the money and its specs, there is no other sports car out there in my opinion.

Actually, the center bar and corral is awesome. The fogs need to be bigger though.

I think it looks great and if Ford hit a home run with the '05, then they've hit a grand slam with the '06. At least in my opinion. The new Pony package on the V6 and the '06-released Shelby GT-500 are just icing on the 2005 Mustang cake. Great job Ford.

whos the insane guy that left a shirt or towel on the hood....I thought this was at a car show you dont do that to a car...you can scratch it....and the grill stinks....looked much better on the original....and its missing the rest of the chrome trim surrounding the entire grill...the fogs werent so small....and the lines extended outward from the corralled pony in all 4 directions like a target...the center chrome line didnt extend past the fogs...this would allow them to move them further out and make them larger....and if they really wanted to do it right they would've put a smaller engine spec badge in front of the wheel well like how it originally came. But since it wouldnt really fit there on this one just to replace the tribar pony with it would be nice.
