GT Grille

What exactly is the difference between the stock V6 -GT grilles? I want to use the GT style grille because I like the center Pony with the fog lights.

Hate to be a pain but I'm still not convinced that it won't work. Sometimes I need to be beaten over the head before I give up. Does anyone know where the dimensions are bigger? If it's a small difference it could possibly be made to work..

It is a different grill for V6 and V8. Yes it is black and honeycomb, but trust us when we say it's a different part.

Yup, you need the GT's front facia, believe me a lot of GT guys would be happy if you could just put the V6 grille on a GT.

I believe you, but just 'cause it's slightly different doesn't mean it's impossible...

Knock yourself out, and be sure to take pictures along the way if it's possible.

I tried this the day I got my GT, the V6 grille will not work with a GT bumper, GT grille will adopt to a V6 bumper. I wanted the pony package grille the day I ordered my GT.

I still do, and I was thinking of swapping my gt frontend for a v6 bumper when I got some time and money. I saw an awsome grille overlay for the pony package somewhere. I feeel the fog lights are too big on the GT, but I do like the extra light they provide at night.

I've been taking some measurements at the local dealer and they seem to be pretty close in size. There is a small lip on top of the V6 bumper that the GT doesn't have. That appears to be the only visible difference. I have a used grille coming so I guess I will find out soon enough..

Pls let me know. The grille and fog lights will be waaay cheaper than having to do a new bumper and paint!
