[attachmentid=12163][attachmentid=12165]Hey y'all! I saw this at my dealer today. I haven't seen any posted yet(I searched) and thought y'all might like to see them. Salesman said they are like $700. Sorry for the low quality pic(camera phone).

Not a big fan of the billet aluminum grill with the fogs. Just doesnt look right to me. If you're going to go with that type of grill, the fogs need to go.

...or be placed behind the grill.

There's a thought. That might look pretty cool.

Yeah, not a fan of the billet grill with fogs either. I think it looks silly, and it looks cheap also. The CDC billet grill with the little mustang off on the side is real nice looking. Like the old Shelby's.

My concern with the American Truck N' Auto accessories grill is that its an overlay and not a drop in replacement.

Yeah, Iwas thinking the same thing. Fogs on a billet grille = :notnice: And I have to agree CDC makes a good looking billett grille w/o the fogs. What would be really cool is about only about 6 to 8 horizontal bars w/o fogs. Now that would be sharp. The bars would be larger about 1/2 inch in diameter instead of the skinny bars they make now. I wish CDC would get on that idea and make em. They'd be a hot selling mod.

Here's a mock is with the fogs on behind it. (Yes I know the reflection in the bumper is wrong, just a test...)

No to an overlay. It wouldn't look so bad if someone made a billet enclosure for the fogs as well. Even then, I'm not sure I'd like it.

I'd prefer it if it deleted the fogs alltogether and knocked $500 off the price.

I WILL be finding something like that for mine.

It's not for me! It looks like someone's not finished fitting it properly. Something is not quite right with it. There's a big difference between what the dealership said, $700 and that second link, $185!

Here is a v6 with the billet upper and lower. Don't know if price is different or not. I also noticed on closer inspection that the regular grill is still underneath the billet. The grill on the GT does look like its a little off.
