No doubt about it. That's the best looking "billet style" grille on the market. All the others have the bars too close together giving them an import, fast & furious look. I, for one, will wait for the plain OEM style grille though.

I'm pretty sure there are a few pics from various car shows showing different angles.

I would hope they sell the grille without the that pony.

Hey Rich, do you think they'll give you a discount or flat out hand it to you? That would be awesome!

Honestly I would say neither!

The grille comes pony delete and if you want to add the pony it is an additional $34.95. I agree that the pony is ugly in the little corral.

You 2 must not be fans of the 69-70 mustang tribar. To each their own.

That might not look too bad if you put some billet foglamp bezels on too.

I think some people over personify. It's just an emblem, folks. It's not really a little pony being held against it's will in a little corral. Sheesh!

Besides, I don't think it's ugly. If you omit the trademark emblem, you join the ranks of those who remove all their manufacturer logos and model designations.

A silly practice, IMO.

IMO it would look better if it weren't corralled..You'll still have the pony !

At least I know where the emblem came from so thanks for the heads up AFBlue.

Hey Chris new car!

Being as the '05+ is a modern version of the 65/66 Mustang Fastback, a 65/66 emblem would look much better on there.
Leave the 69/70 (a GREAT car BTW) emblem on a 69/70 style car. Like the 2010 Mustang, perhaps.

Sorry, Mark. I guess I stopped giving you credit since I assumed everyone's seen it being as I've posted it about 100 times.

I'm just having fun. Post away.

In all seriousness. If I was to personally rank the aftermarket billet grilles:

1. Foose Stallion: 12 bar (not currently for sale) http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/time...5/Foose-11.jpg
2. Shelby GT: 13 bar for sale: http://www.shelbyautos.com/galleries...hc011-1024.jpg
2. CDC: 9 bar for sale (see above)
4. Cervini: 15 bar: for sale. Nothing wrong with this one. Just prefer the look of less bars.

I'm trying to replicate the look of a 66 GT-350 which had 9 bars, but the 66's grille was not as tall as the current s-197 GT's, so a grille with more a few more bars would work too.

I really need to see them in person to make an educated decision though.
