The ford dealership down the road from me has that same grill on some of their cars, and the bars are a little crooked/bent or something. I was thinking the same thing as you and Boltzman, but it may just be the installer.

Also, I don't think it would be as noticeable in black.

A few of you mentioned in this thread liking the fog lights behind the GAS Boss grill. It looks like the Shelby GT grill is the same way.

Yeah....flush with the bumper in the middle but rises on each side. Think that was intended?

Here is a straight on view. I don't think it looks cooked
I actually bought the upper and lower grills separately. The upper one on EBay and the lower from a shop that had it hanging on display.

It looks as if he has headlight extenders, to go along with the foose hood. That could be what you see

No Painting. The Cervinis B9 Hood extends the front about 1.5 inches so it looks a lot different.

I tried to find just the lower grill online as well but could not find it. Lucky I was able to talk my shop into selling me there display.

I think what you're seeing is how the grille is peaked towards the pony in the front. Because of the bright aluminum, it gives the effect that they are angled up.

That car is local to me, so I can verify if I see it in person

My wife has the same grille as RetroGT. My wife wanted some accents to go with Redfire and I didn't want to change the car too much. I did the eBay thing as well and got both grilles, shipped, for under $100. I didn't do the Shelby hack and slash on the factory grille. I actually took a dremel and spent about 2 hours making the original grille flat at the Horse location for the grille to fit better (more flush). I then bought a Pony for a 2004 and "modified" it to fit. Scale is a bit off compared to the 2005+ Pony, but she's happy.
