installed my stainless steel Z grille

thought I'd share a couple pics i took of the new grille I installed this weekend. I wanted to go with something different. Really was an easy install. Sorry the pics arent great quality but I was in a bit of a hurry plus my camera blows! Having said that, let me know what u think...

It is different, I like to be original and unique as well.

+1, i'm not crazy about it either. Most of the overlay grills that i've seen don't pull off the look very good.

I'm not a fan either. If you're going with an overlay, I prefer the billet horizontal-bar look.

i appreciate everyones opinion! I'm not a fan of any of the billet grilles that seem so popular, i think those grilles take away from the car. Plus I wanted to keep the pony grille. Still havent made up my mind about it, great thing is it can come off in no time. THanks all

Bottom line is that it's your car and whatever you think looks good is the most important thing. If people didn't have different tastes then we would all be driving green Yugos.

+1 to that as well.
I have to admit, I had been thinking about getting one of those as well. I decided against it at the last minute opting to keep my grill black. If you like it, keep it on, thats whats its all about.
BTW, might just be a S. Jersey thing too!!

I like the upper grille but not the lower grille.

There is something missing in the lower grille, i guess?

I wonder what would it look like for a GT500 silver or chrome honeycomb grille on a Black GT Mustang?

They seem to "bling-ish" for my taste. But it is your car so if you like it, keep it!
