2019 Ecoboost premium convertible in Ruby Red Introduction
I have a 2019 Ecoboost premium convertible in Ruby Red. I have been enjoying ownership of the car and strive to learn as much as I can to help fellow owners with their S550 Mustang. Consequently, I started S550_Tips on IG and YT.

IIRC! There is still a grille pony on the GT/CS grille, but it is off to one side rather than the center, at least on the OEM GT/CS anyhow.


2022 Mustang GT/CS grille pony offset on driver's side.

Right with you Kevin! Break it down for us OP... Exactly which S550 style GT/CS grille do you have, elaborate?

The story is that I swapped out the Ecoboost grille for a ‘22 GT/CS grille. I took off the emblem since it’s not a GT and I’m waiting on my guy to ship me a custom EB/CS emblem. I have been retrofitting genuine CS parts to have the California Special package on an Ecoboost.

right. When I was swapping the grille, I also detailed the bumper and wanted to get behind the front license plate mount. I just haven’t put it back on yet.

The reason I chose not to go with the GT/CS grille from 15-21 is because it’s copied by the HPP Ecoboost. I’m trying to have it set apart from the HPP. The GT/CS grille from 22-23 looks similar to the Bullitt except it’s doesn’t have the chrome outer trim like the Bullitt grille does.
