Gotta keep those fogs, I prefer them Also, something is not right with those pics. The lower grill section is the same in those pics but they are not the same on the V6 vs the GT so what's up with that.

I originally wanted to get the CDC billet grill... the one with the offset pony and no fogs. But I love my fogs. I did a quick photochop of my car without them, and it just wasn't the same. I don't like the billet grill with the pony cut-out, and especially don't like the one for the GT with the fogs cut-out too. It look added-on. Here's a pic... now that's just fugly.

On another note... finally got to 1,000 posts. :P

I like those a lot. I am looking for a replacement for the honeycomb style, or as I like to call it, the bug collector. Yesterday I was coming out of the store and three birds were sitting in the bumper picking dead bugs out of the grill. I chirped the alarm and they flew away in terror. Good times.

That grill would look nice in powder-coated black on my redfire.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing for my satin silver magnum-70. Black should definately be an option.

These are not replacement grilles... they are overlays. And just about any billet grill you get will be an overlay. Bugs will still get into the honeycomb. The only thing the billet grille will do is make it harder to get them out.

Is it just me or does that eBay grill look like it doesn't fit properly?

are you sure of this? I was going to get the grille without the pony or fogs...and cut holes to mount the fogs in the center...hmmm

give it some time and someone like trenz will come out with a billet grill thats not an overlay but actually replaces the factory grill, it takes time for stuff like that to come out

I'm about 99% sure that these are all overlays. They don't have a frame. They are just mounted onto the honeycomb grill with wire ties or worse involve you drilling holes into your stock grille to put attach it with brackets.

Ones that aren't overlays are going to take a while, yes. And they are going to be very expensive.

mine is an overlay that attaches with zip-ties. when I first received it I was a little dissapoineted but after I installed it I was blown away!
The owner of caseys custom said he can make it to bolt on.
