Here is my finished custom grill with center foglights. I think that it looks so awesome.

Yeah, I would definitely put some sort of emblem there. Also, I think they are too close together. The original '67 with the fogs close together has the perfect spacing. I would have stuck with the original. If it were me, I'd also get a nice chrome lip to put around each light. The lights don't look finished IMO.

What's with the 2 different headlights? Is that just an optical illusion?

Looks good but it looks like it is missing something. Not sure what, but something just isn't right. Keep up the good work though. I've always wanted to center my fogs.

Kirby- I just checked on that part- we are polishing the mold right now- we should get a test shot Monday or Tuesday of next week- Ill post a picture of it as soon as it comes out of the mold. From there, we need to make the molds for the grille inserts which will take a couple of weeks- it takes time to do these things and we all want them now!

At the angle of the pictures, the headlights do look different, that is weird! I am trying to go for a sleek stealthy look, so I don't really want to put anything else on the grill. I would maybe consider trim rings around the lights, but they would not be chrome. Maybe polished. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

It looks good, but it does need maybe black trim rings around the lights. Looks a little unfinished the way it sits right now. But otherwise,

Looks Hot!!! Maybe take the Pony emblem off the stock grill and mount it like the Cobra emblem on the GT500.

After seeing that grill up close and personal yesterday I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that it looks really awesome... and the fogs look almost perfect.

How is it that the Street Scene center foglight grill got such rave reviews, and a lot of people don't like mine? Not that I care, I love the grill, but I am just curious. Anyways, keep posting!

Hey man, it's good you like it. That's all that counts.

I don't like the Street Scene version as well, but it may have gotten good reviews because this site's membership seems to not tolerate dissension, even if it's genuine.

Those that don't vote with the herd are seen as agitators...which is really unfortunate cuz some of the cosmetics being applied to the '05 are just plain awful and peeps need to speak up.

There are few genuine opinions in the modifications forums...everybody's too busy patting everybody else on the back over what a great job they did with such and such mod. So if you see somebody posting a negative review, sometimes it's a good thing cuz somebody's paying attention and not affraid to speak up.
