How do you think this Cervini grille would look on my GT? If there is too much brightwork I can always have it powdercoated black. Thanks for the chop AFBLUE! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

I like the grille, however I'm really partial to the stock foglights. For whatever reason, I can't live without them; they complete me [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img] . I can't even commit to buying a grille that centers the lights...........

I think that it would look great on your car, but mainly just because IMO your car looks great now. Me personally, I'd leave it like you have it, ya old fart.

I have the Cervini ( Billett ) grill and it is nice.
It also allows alot more air into the engine bay since the stock grill is plastic and only has a small amount of area that is open for air to get thru.
The areas on the outside edge of the lights is molded so as to block air going thru.

I would get the Grill if you don't want the foglights there.
Powdercoat it if you want but remember its aluminum and powdercoating will probably melt it. HEHE

You have to get in there and sand it then paint it normally. Thats what my body shop said.

heres another angle

Do remember that you see the color of the car thru the grill

I like how your car is now.....love the Roush scoop and CDC chin spoiler, gives it that aggressive look without being over the top. I say keep it like it is.....the fog lights with the scoop and chin spoiler is a great combo.

I am partial to the stock 4-headlight grill. For some reason I never liked the billet rod grills.

cervini grill looks good , But Chris @ Blow-Racing is having alot better grill being made. He has the proto type done, just in the final stages. looks alot better than the old BBR LNR grill.It will be a pollished unit. You could give him a call @ 561-417-5555 and he could tell you about how much longer until it will be ready for marketing.

I like the billet grill on the GT, but with the fog lights. Guess it all boils down to what you like though cause it does look good, just not the way "I" would prefer it.

I like the billet grille, but also like having fogs, hence I've been looking at different fascias that have built in fogs (e.g. roush, steeda).

This should give you an idea what a powder coated one would look like

Powder coated looks awesome, that's what I want to do in my Performance White, with the Cervini front bumper...

One of the reasons (there are SO many though [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] )I fell in love with this car is the 4-Light Grille. It looks awsome, just the way it should be. The next best look is maybe centered.
I would leave it.
Just my opinion though.
