Like the black billet better. The honey comb has some holes opened and some closed on the grill, I don't like that...

There's an Engineer that takes great pride in those closed holes. I'm sure someone did some CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) runs on that grille. If you put a completely open grille across the opening and run the car over 85mph, better have some hood pins, or the rear hood seal removed.

Everything has a reason, some simply cosmetic, but for the car to run you have to fill some gaps on the grille opening. I found out (by driving) the hard way.

I also agree the Bullitt grille is the better choice! I had one on mine for awhile until an unfortunate front end collision ended it all... I cut out all the honeycomb as I didn't care for the look of all the blanks. I used hood pins as I wasn't going to take any chances of the increased airflow ripping my hood off. I used a '07 V6 Pony Package emblem for the grille. I attatched it by putting epoxy on the emblem pins and sticking it in the very corners of two of the honeycomb sections. It worked great!

:agree:

Plus do you think they would purposely use extra plastic to fill if they didn't have to? That's $.10 extra per grill * #produced = $bajillions! Worse is I'm only half kidding.

I don't disagree, I know there's a reason for it, but I'm saying that I don't like it (whether it's functional or not). Use a billet grill, no blank spots, and just put hood pins to fix the flutter!
