Black retro grill vs stock grill w/foglights?

Hey guys, I'm really torn on whether or not to leave the stock grill/foglights on my GT or to get this black retro billet grill?

http://www.americanmuscle.com/0509-b...ro-grille.html

Which one do you guys think looks better? I'm thinking with the black retro grill, it might look more like the Shelby GT-H, which I love. Here's a couple pics of my car so you can see how it looks now.

So I think almost every Mustang is to the liking of the owner rebuilt, so that is a stock grill again something special. And in a few years anyway "original" in demand. I like the Standard better, your ride is beautiful. But is all a matter of taste. You have to like it..

I am a big fan of he clean billet grill look. And for another $30, you can get the billet grill with the hidden fog kit from this vendor.

Here's mine with the black Shelby grille just like the ones on the sgt. It definitely cleans the front up. I'm not sure I loved it before, but now that I have the CDC aggressive on I do. It just looks so mean to me. The fogs are currently tinted but I'm still trying to figure out how to hide them. We will see...

mrp5150,

This is a very opinionated question. I think it really depends on the look you're going for. If you're going to keep the exterior stock and just do some tasteful upgrades then I'd keep the grille stock. If you plan on getting wheels, lowering springs, smoked lights ect.. then I'd go with the Black Retro Grille to really tie in your cosmetics.

This is just my opinion. Let me know if you have any questions!

- Dan

Sounds weird, but in the bottom picture, your Mustang almost looks like a Challenger to me, haha. I think it's just the angle of the photo and the color scheme.
