Hi Marcello
The grill arrived today at 5:30pm. I did not get a chance to install the grill untill after 6:30pm. The instructions were great and the installation only took 10 minutes. The only thing that I changed was to us 3M tape on the contact surface with the bumper. The install was so easy that from a range from 1 to 10,it would be a 1. My congradulation on your final product,it fits like a e.
Photos to follow.

Housing for the OD button...

But now that you mention it...

Very cool. The tape isn't really required, but it won't hurt anything either, so that's good - did you use it top and bottom, or on the vertical side pillars?

Also, I'm glad it arrived safely - our "proper" boxes will not be ready for another 3-4 weeks, so we had to order a bunch from u-line to cover us, and they are actually a bit small for our liking to protect the part in transit from the bag-mashers.

Anyway, we'll definitely be happy to see some pictures, and I'm glad it rated a 1 on the scale - sometimes being the low hanging fruit is good

Had a chance to take some photos today. The install was very easy to install. I used 3M tape on the vertical pillars so it would not shift up and down. Looks really great.

Very cool guys, looks like it is going well on initial installs. I'm happy that it sounds like everyone is satisfied with how things are going on the cars.

Now my front end looks complete! Great piece Marcello, took just one minute to install just like you said. Had my Agent 47 NACA side window ducts installed this week also, check um out.

Its' in and installed! Thanks Marcello! Fit perfect, absolutely perfect. I did take my time and really clean the condensor off and the inlet area before installing it. I noticed not just bugs in my condensor but small road rocks were wedged in there. I know this won't solve that completely, but I like the looks and the peace of mind. Now if Shelby would hurry up and get those brake ducts and lower PIAA lights made for the SGT and GT/CS my front end wil be complete.

I would love to do that with my GT but its not a CS. I still have my grill from where I totalled by 07 v6 last year. I wasn't going to let the insurance take my grill.

Got mine today. As stated, install is so simple. No tools required. took about 59 seconds. quality looks excellent. fit is perfect although I have license plate brackets, which got in the way a tiny bit, but it still rested under the brackets just fine. might of made it set in place even better actually.

took a few pics, but I was in a hurry and didnt have the best lighting. So It's hard to really see.

Cool, good deal. We caught it probably right before we left so you would get it - I know there is a lot of catching up to do this week, not too many orders were able to ship last week, as our "skeleton" staff that was here didn't get too many out.
