Now on Ebay the V8 grill for the V6. I don't know any parties involved just saw it and knew some would be interested. Not bad all Ford parts!

It was posted here somewhere that the V6 & GT grills were not interchangeable.

Blue oval industries just had them on ebay for 199.00.They use a V6 grill using the same mounting points as whats on the V6 now.I ordered one to see what it looks like.Will let everyone know when I get it and get it installed.I have already had the grill out of my V6 so it wont take long to figure out if it fits.

thats awesome for those that want the extra fog lamps!
i personally believe that the V6 grill is an improvement over the GT one. i would love to have it without the fogs and with an emblem on the side of it

Like so:

I did order one of the grill conversions and someone else did also.There were 2 advertised but they are both gone now and hopefully I only ordered one.I will post a before and after pic if I can figure out how to do it.I am not a computer whiz so it takes me a long time to figure out something new,I need really simple to follow instructions.

Just talked to the company that had the fog light conversion on EBAY and sorry to say the conversion will not fit the V6,they used a GT grill because According to Ford there is no difference between a GT bumper cover and aV6 bumper cover.Sorry to say that is incorrect.I have al ready tried to put a GT grill in my V6 and it wont work,so the conversion kit will not be an exact fit as they told me.I guess it will be back to the drawing board.

Blue Oval just listed their fog light conversion on EBAY again this evening.If you are thinking about ordering them just be aware that the grill will not just po in like the old one comes out.I have seen this conversion at a dealership and the fit is nothing to brag about.With a lot of work and some modification you may be able to get a decent looking installation.I have been watching all your posts and most if not all aren't going to install anything on your beloved Mustangs that do not meet your standards which are high. As much as I would like to get those lights I am not buying until they get it right.

The solution!
Black, so you can have the running horse on the side, and you still get bright driving lights when they're on.
