I second that completely. If they made this grille to keep the fogs I would be all over it.

I would also be interested in black grille w/fogs included. My whole car is pretty much CDC and it would finish it perfectly. (Plus the headlight fix, when it's affordable/offered).
Also, CDC sends the parts painted, perfectly, so how about a mirror swap program? It is very difficult to find a qualified shop. I would gladly send my mirrors and $100 for a set of Perf. White Painted mirrors.

I wonder if there is a way to move the grille a bit further back so it's a little deeper.

My thoughts exactly. I know you can do that with the Cervini aftermarket grille as some folks have mounted it more forward and others further in toward the engine.

Galpin is the largest Mustang dealer (largest Ford dealer?) in the country.

I would have bought my car from galpin if the sales guy wasn't such a dizzle. They are a very high volume dealer so they tend to be a little more high pressure. Maybe it was just the guy I was dealing with. Anyways, they have a aftermarket shop at www.galpinautosports.com They do the cars for "Pimp my Ride". you can give them a call to find out about that grille. GAS and Pimp my ride are a little too bling-oriented for my taste, but to each his own.

You might have better luck calling. They aren't very good at returning emails. well, my emails at least. I just wanted to check on purchasing aftermarket parts from them so I don't have wait for stuff in the mail. Suffice it to say, I do all my shopping via mail order nowadays.

i called them I spoke with a guy name Steve, He owns that car He gave me the number of another guy(Brian) He custom built that grille for him,he told me it's basically for "Show" only. But he "would" build me one. I would have to do some grinding to ajust the fit. It could be more trouble than it's worth. I gotta sleep on this one.

I can build grilles, but it is not my first job / priority. I have access to a shop and have a friend who powdercoats. I have a CAD program and Engineering background, so I could build a grille. I have an idea to make two removeable inserts that take the place of the fogs when removed. This way, the grille could be convertible. Anybody interested enough to help out?

+1000 on both counts. Enough requests go in to CDC about making it to fit the fogs, they just may make it. I'll wait patiently...I like the fogs too much to delete them.
