The grill is pretty cool, but someone needs to do something about those light buckets, THAT would be awesome...

I like the headlights also! Very retro and i think the black grille would look good on black cars.

I've requested, but I think their marketing folks are out for the holidays.

They're not available yet. From what I understand, they would be EXTREMELY expensive to produce, but I have forwarded this thread to CDC, and they always have an open ear to consumers. I suggested they make this grille in black in early 2005 and again this November 15.

Bummer but if they do mass produce, I for one would say they will be a hot item

I really like the grill it's the best billet I have seen, I can't wait to see it in black. The headlights are not my style but I do think they would be a very popular item for CDC, and I always appreciate having a bunch of options incase I change my mind.

Brad are you thinking of doing one on PSH?

I loved this grille from the start except that it was bright billet. I've only seen four grilles that are black with a chrome pony and no fogs--the stock V6 grille, MRT's Interceptor grille which will be available with an optional chrome pony, Shelby's grille in black, and now this one from CDC.

I don't want a stock V6 grille and Shelby's is an overlay not a replacement, so MRT and CDC are my leading candidates with the Shelby piece in a strong third.

Shelby Grille:



MRT's Interceptor Grille, which they say will have a chrome pony option:

After looking at Shelby's site, their black grill w/ pony does not appear to be available at this time. Do you have any more pics for a better look at it? They do have some new interesting pieces coming out next year that I might add to my ride.

I was wanting a replacement grille from Shelby, not an overlay. Booo to them

The CDC will look nice, but will have less bars. I guess thicker bars will hold up better if/when things hit it.

The headlights look like stock ones, just painted the color of the car.
