Hide the fogs. It'll give you that creeper look. People will think it's a V-6

Have you considered maybe hiding the fogs in the center?

They wouldn't fit behind the center. In order for them to fit in the center at all, they have to stick way out.

I seem to be in the minority but I like the stainless.

Anyone see a mod grille with the fogs placed closer together, more like the 1968/69 Shelbys?

The thing that I would really like everyone to give their opinion on is the finish. Either stay with the brushed stainless steel look and put a black emblem on it, or do I go with a black grill, and a chrome emblem? Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Black Grill,chrome pony...IMO! Great Job!

With those VERY small grate openings, if the fog lights are behind the grill hardly any light will shine through.

Keep the brushed look. Keep the chrome pony in the center (chrome on brushed like the IUP interior) and put those fog lights back where they belong on the GT, and it will look awesome, and unique.

Talking

I think I am going to stay with the plain stainless look. I was going to paint it all black until I put the lower grill in, and saw it all go with the top grill and the polished wheels. Now I think it looks totally awesome as stainless. Tell me what you guys think. I will probably just put the tri-bar/pony emblem to the driver's side, and call it that.

Basically, the stock grill just pulls out. You may have to use a small flathead screwdriver to pry it's mounting clips out just a little, but overall, it is easy, and will only take you 5-10 minutes.

I think the stainless looks great on the black. Nice job. As for the fog lights, I don't know what to tell you. I think it'll look nice no matter where u put the lights if u even put them back in at all. Very nice job though, looks great!

looks good IMO. i say leave the fogs out. and hook up a running pony in the side of the grill. or if you are going to mount the fogs on the outside. make a SS trim ring to go around them.
