The seat color pattern is a little different on it, too. Parchment along the side, black in the middle, but not a reverse of the CS interior, exactly.

Hmm, I'll have to get more pics next week at the show.

Not bad, not bad...

But now I'm starting to se why the OEM GT grille had the holes close to the edges closed. I think too much is visible through this grille. Maybe not as much on a black car...

What do you think, StangNut?

Just paint the hood/ radiator support black like I did for my Shelby front bumper.

No need in my case, I'm already seriously considering it, but I'm kinda partial to the GT foglights.

So, who makes/sells this grille?

I see www.fordaccessoriesstore.com on the hood, but it's not on their website yet.

I think besides the obvious GT emblems, the fog lights are the most identifying feature on these cars to seperate them from the run of the mill V6, especially to 'Non-Car' People.

Overall, I like the car. I've never liked the GT500 rear spoiler so that would have to go.

As for the grille... well, it's better than nothing, but just barely. I wish they wouldn't have used the same size honeycombs as the V6 pony package grille. That grille's ugly, IMO.

I've been considering a grille like this, so I can mount the fogs on the inside of the grill and a tribar pony off to the drivers side...I wonder if the measurements would work...

does anyone know where this grille can be found yet?

That is a GT/CS front fascia, with the bottom painted black.

Check out the Accessorizer app on their webpage. It lets you tryout the accessories to see how they would look on your mustang. They have front bug shields and side window deflectors for the mustang. I've never seen that before on the mustang.

Their stripes don't extend to cover the bumpers.

Hmm... no fog lights, a hint to the Bullitt perhaps?

I was just gonna post the same thing about it being Bullitt-like.

The wheels definitly look like 18's, if that's the case, it would be a bit unusual for a sema car, but perfect for a Bullitt.

Also I noticed the aluminum like gas filler door, another sign of Bullitt. Also, is it just me, or do those brakes look a bit heftier than stock GT? The car also looks a bit lower....

I really think this could be the Bullitt concept.....

Needs fog lights. Maybe small ones in the lower grill?

If it's a Bullitt precursor, please lose that stupid hood scoop. If you're gonna do anything, Ford, do the proper bi-vented hood - and make the front end more interesting. It's pretty boring looking the way it is now.

wasnt sure if youre talking about fogs close together, or actually behind the grille...the 'close together' type is available now...a guy in our local club got one for his Fang mustang a couple months ago- think mustang tuning sells them
