Can someone post the fonts of both cars side by side, so we can see the difference in the grills. I didnt know there was a difference. Thanks :worship:

Personally, I like the V6 grille, with the GT front skirt. The V6's front skirt looks like it is 'smiling' at you, whereas the GT's looks much meaner. Oh well, I'm sure they will both look different with front license plates on them. (Darn Texas laws)

I like the GT grille. It gives the whole front a more tight and together look. Without the foglights, it looks sorta...wide-eyed...and daft.

I still think it's kinda lame that with the GT lower front valence, they put two fake air ducts instead of leaving all four sections open... it's gonna collect road dirt and be obvious immediately when dirty. Whatever their reasoning, it's tacky looking.

The v6 is saying:
Hi Nice to meet you, Wanna play? Its uncluttered. Dare I say cute?

The GT says:
Get outta my way. Looks mean.

Yeah, that GT does look meaner!

Almost like " Get outta my way, or I'll eat you up! "

Can't you put your liscense plate on the dash so it can be seen through the front windshield? I think its ok as long as its visible from the front, not positive though.

No, It must be displayed on the front end. I think in legalese it says the farthest point forward on the front.

Lamps in the grille were never exclusive to Bosses. In fact, they were a GT trademark from the beginning.

I am sure there will be an accessory for hanging a front liscense plate. I like the front end of the GT. The fake air ducts could be there for aftermarket reasons as well.
