grill from Ace Motor Racing Products

Has anyone see or installed this grill? It looks cool but I have never heard of this place.

Doesn't look too bad, and the fogs have halo's. Wonder if they make anything else for Mustangs.

Won't fit the GT. That one, as well as several others made by the same company are only for the V6. They are about a dozen different companies selling the same style grilles on eBay. Funny thing is, all their auctions are set up in the exact same style.

And, BTW, they are clueless when it comes to what the grilles will really fit. (several of the auctions have the grille pictured upside down) One of them tried to tell me one grille would fit both the GT & V6. Of course I couldn't convince him it wouldn't.

Agreed - here's a copy/paste from that auction:

Got mine delivered today. Fits perfectly. Had to remove a couple of tabs that didn't belong, but well worth the $80.

If it has extra tabs, they must really think it'll fit the GT.
Looks good BTW. If they made one for a GT, I'd probably already have one.

But check out the title of that grille:
05-06 GT MUSTANG BLACK BILLET GRILL HALO-FOGS GRILLE
AND it's one of the upside down grilles.

Here's another upside down grille:
05-06 FORD MUSTANG V6 ABS MESH BILLET GRILL GRILLE BLK

And here's another one with GT in the title:
05 06 FORD MUSTANG V6 GT Z GRILLE MESH GRILLES GRILL

^^^ Looks like the same manufacturer for the grill, but that's not the same company as the one I bought from selling it.

Exactly my point. Now look at how all the auctions look very similar (like they were all designed by the same person) even though there are so many different companies.

Don't know what to tell you man... Bought mine off ebay, got it in about a week, was well packaged and no issues. Nothing funny about the business I dealt with at all. Very easy payment setup and was never worried about not getting it. Know a couple other Mustang owners who have bought from them as well.

I'm not saying they're a bad company. I just don't like people that aren't honest.

I got mine from them. No real problems besides a little slow in replying to emails. Got worried when it arrived since the box said 2004 v6 mustang grill though, but everythign was good.

Thanks for the pics.
Looking at those extra tabs they must really think it'll fit a GT. Like I said, if they REALLY made one for a GT I'd probably already have one.

For the price, it's SOOOO tempting to buy one just to try it... and of course I'd buy it from the one I argued with about whether or not it would fit a GT.

Well so much for the theory about the tabs. Here's a pic of one my spare/scrap grilles and the extra tabs clearly won't fit the GT.
GIDDEUP, which tabs did you have to cut off? Are the tabs on the top used at all? There's nothing like that on the GT grille. You wouldn't happen to have pics of your old grille from that same angle would you?

I had to cut off the two circled.



Sorry, no pics of the old one. It's already boxed and up in the attic.
