I think that looks pretty darn good. Especially keeping the pony on the front. Post more pictures and angles, if you get a chance. does this billet grill overlay on top of the existing grill?


I'm curious, in that somewhere it was posted that the existing air flow was very deliberate by the car's designers, and wonder how this, or other grills, integrate the air flow design.

Where is your car located?

It fastens on top of existing grill.(I was a little dissapointed in that until after I finished the install. what other angles??
My car is in the West Palm Beach Florida area.

its ok... but only the GT.

hey dont forget buddy, the 66 and 70 stangs had billet grilles too


Sorry. Those aren't billet grilles.
The closest thing the old grilles like those is the Saleen grille.

KC,
I'm not a fan of billet grilles, (hated them on the 99-04's) but the one on the left and kevinv-6's actually look pretty good. Not sure if I like it enough to buy one.
JMO.
The one I like the most so far is the above mentioned Saleen grille. Gives it a 66 GT350 look. Which is strange that I like it since I'm more of a '65 fan.

Your car looks great in those pics! Is the original chromed horse on the honeycomb grill still underneath, or did you remove it?
Where did you get your grill, and how much are they?

I removed the original chrome pony. I actually found the grill on E-Bay both pieces were 200$....Thats why at first I was dissapointed that it just went on over the honeycomb grill w/tie-locks but after installation I was so very pleased, you cant even notice the old grill behind it!
here is the e-bay link

shipping took about 10 days

I like the V6 grille, maybe add the tribar emblem on the drivers side.

A note to any Ford designers reading this forum; P L E A S E leave the honeycomb grille on the 2006! If people want to customize their grille they can, some of them look real nice as custom, but I like the honeycomb for production.
