Well there's really three styles I can think of. Center fogs, regular style, and then regular style with out the pony emblem in the middle. I think the last two can use a billet grille as well.

Looks like a regular style GT grille that's spread wider apart. Looks cool but I think you'd be happier with a billet grille as apposed to what looks like a regular mesh grille. Though the pic was very blurry I can't tell if it's a wire like mesh or plastic. To me having more options later down the road is important. Getting a standard fitting grille will let you have options without worry about fitment.

Ya I know what you mean, how do you do the grille that hides the fogs? I think that would look awesome with halos

I have no idea to be honest. I've never even seen that kind of kit before.

+1. And I think purists only get their panties in a wad if you mis-badge your car. I say go for it. This bumper is the best. There's so many options too. I say shelby gt grille (pretty cheap on Shelby store but you have to buy a housing for another $100 or cut up a gt grille if you can get it for cheap) and then billet grille for the lower plus Shelby piaa light/brake duct kit. This is what a lot of the Shelby gt's run. It's gonna look great though!

Not bad! The only time I really find myself liking center fogs is if its one a car with the right stripes, and usually a retro looking car. But that's just me. Or bullitt grille always looks so good

Edit just saw they'd be hidden. Sounds fine, you just need to see if they'll fit. You're best guess for that would be roush grille and you'd have to make brackets. Or dg custom and change up the brackets? Not sure

I think I'll give DG a call and see what they think. And I also want the break ducts but I just can't find em, any ideas?

People maybe I am old fashion but if you want your car to look like another car model just get the other car instead of posing. It may make your car look better but it is a unwritten fopah. What do the rest of you think.

Not trying to be critical to the poster of this message.

Many times the overall aesthetic outweighs the specific application. Furthermore, transcends the normality of the presupposed. In essence, defines individually.

Subjectively speaking, if something looks good on the car, it shouldn't matter what it is or whatever car it came from.

However, what looks good to us, may not look good to someone else. It's a complicated thing really.

Truth. Aesthetics are all good to me personally. Obviously the cs and Shelby models will typically look better. Thats why they're more special. Misbadging I didn't understand at first, but now I kind of get it. I mean I have no problem with it but I saw a kid earlier this week with a gt and a huge 4" cowl hood and cobra emblems. I just laughed bc it was funny. Caught me off guard. I'm proud of the gt badge. That's just me.
I was going to put cs front and rear on my car but went a different way.
But yeah I get what you're saying. But since you're from an old fashion (not sure what that means) you'd understand taking an old v6 or straight six or even flathead car of any kid and making them better right? To me it's all about making the car better than it was. Improvements. But you understand that with your shaker hood and everything right? You just make it look better to you

Well honestly guys idk how this counts as misbadging. If someone asks me I'll tell them I have a v6 and no where o my car does it say otherwise. I mean I think its dumb to call something its not also, but what's wrong with improving looks? In the end a v6 is still a mustang and I think its ridiculous how some people act like its an embarrassment or a waste. I love my car, but I want it to look how I want it, that's why i got the bumper and that's why I mod.

OP: it's gonna look great. We can't wait to see the results.

We're just kicking around about all these threads that have been popping up about GT parts on a V6. Lol

Meanwhile, this V6 has been parading around local towns and quiet suburbs...
