It looks like a GT/CS that had the side stripes removed. The front and rear are GT/CS, Side Scoops also. Change the grill add some hood decals and trunk black out and "POOF" you have a SEMA Car.......

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.
The honeycomb grille openings in the grille pictured are the same as in the GT.

The banner on the car is Fordaccessories.com. They are doing more of this type of stuff. They take a stock car and accessorize it with everything from the catalog.

We had a F150 at the dealership I work at 2 months ago like this. The truck must have had every possible part you could add to the truck.

I was thinking the same thing about the grill being the V6 Pony Package grill. They honeycombs are way too big to be the GT grill.

Naw, that is not the same size as the V6 Pony Package grill honeycomb. The Pony honeycomb is only 3 cells tall compared to the GT that is 7.5 cells tall.

Well, I was wrong. Is sure does look to be the same size as the GT grill. The material looks thinner, and not having all the obstructions (closed off honeycombs, pony, and fog lights) makes it look bigger to me. I will get pics next week, and if I can, I'll ask someone there about that grill. I'll post what I learn that night.

My hood will be all painted and mounted tomorrow night, I'll take pics then, and we're doing the billet grill and whatever else on Sunday before it gets rolled into the hall. Once it's in they want to put a new dash cluster on the car, and it's supposed to be really high-end (Rolex-like was the description I got). I'll of course post what ever I see when I can. I'm so excited, I can hardly wait! I'll be putting as many coats of Zaino on as I can this weekend so it's ready for the show.

You're right, wilson. I see what you're talking about. It must be the lack of depth of the grille that's throwing me off. The stock GT grille is at least 2" deep.
Thanks for pointing out my mistake. Maybe if I ever get to see one in person, I'd actually like it. I'm not going to get my hopes up though. I've done that too many times already when some aftermarket company said they were going to make a "blank" GT grille. (I think the count is up to 6 now)

From the front it has a "deer in the head lights" look. Head lights are bugged out, IMO.....

I talked to the Merchandising manager from Ford about this car, it's not for sale, it's a demonstration of current and future accessories from Ford. The girll will be out, and it is the GT pattern with no blockage or fog lights, but it won't be out until later next year (mid summer). The seats are Katskinz that they will license and start offering through parts departments, and everything else as well, including pre-packaged GT/CS body kits like Kevin has already been offering.

I've put some pics of this car in this thread - http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=55678

and on photobucket at http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=55678

Anyone have pics of the Rear Tonneau cover? Or is it just the normal one that's been an option all along?

EDIT: Nevermind I see there is a pic in the other thread that jayguy posted.

But the photobucket link from jayguy doesn't take me to photobucket.
