The black grille looks good. Here are some photos of my regular billet type grill with the hireman pony mounted.

Looks good on your car (the look you are going for) Looks better with the emblem you put on. For me I think I would miss the fog lights though

glad you finally found something. I know you have been looking for some time now. I can see what you mean I bet up close its sweet but if you step back it looks like there is nothing there.
Maybe i'll get lucky and see it inperson in March at Fun Ford Weekend.

Yeah, It will definitely have the emblem. (still haven't put it on permantly yet. )

I like the fogs too, but with the Roush bumper they were just too much. (still have fogs)

I'm hoping painting the hood latch area and the "lip" where the old grille went will help that. been too lazy so far.

Yeah. I feel the same way. I'm going to give it some time though and see if it grows on me. If not, I don't think it will be hard to sell.

That looks really nice but it just seems like theres something missing that could be added so its not all white /all black but I'd do that to mine but I can't only have it for I hope two more weeks.

As for seeing through the grill what about putting Black screen door material behind it ?

I agree. In fact, blue stripes are on the mod list.
Something along these lines:

Hit the hood latch with some flat black krylon and think you'll be really happy with this new grill.

I just can't resist commenting when you post that picture.

Currently I'm feeling neutral on the grille. I don't dislike it, yet it doesn't excite me either. I guess it because I'm used to billet style grilles being shiny and honey comb grills being black. JMO.

After seeing the pics and realising that I DO like the fog lamps and I want to keep them, I canceled my order for the black grille.
The transparency wouldn't have been an issue for me, since my car is black, but on another car color it should be easy to paint the hood latch black and get rid of the problem.
Btw, +1 on the blue stripes, Jason!

Mark, I'm starting to develop a Pavlovian response every time I see that photo: I keep looking for your comment on it!

I don't comment on it each time you post it so that you give me credit. I just think it's funny that it keeps cropping up.

Oh don't forget to credit 05-1947 since it is his car/picture, and to yourself for making it white. Also you should give credit Jack Roush for the fascia, HTT for the car, Carrol Shelby, Peter Brock (the man that came up with the idea of putting twin blue stripes on the original GT-350), and Briggs Cunningham (The man who inspired Brock to use that color scheme)

All those guys don't post everytime I show your oustanding work.

Hey, wasn't it you that also gave me the idea for the black V6 rockers back when the first pics of the GT500 came out? Other than the blue/white color scheme, you've pretty much designed my whole car.

Was I just imagining things or did I see a black grill very similar to yours with GT fogs hidden behind it? That would be the turning point for me on this product. Looks fantastic by the way!
