Roush, Steeda, BBR, Cervini, and my wish for a GT-350R front Fascia. 66 GT-350 billet grille look

I photshoped a Roush hood, stripes, and billet grille on a TMS member's (05-1947) car a few months ago. Last night I photoshoped a Steeda front Fascia on that same car.

Thought it might be of use to those who are in the market for a billet grille (without fog lights) and still want to have fog lights.

EDIT: Went back and added a BBR front fascia. So from left/top to right/bottom. Roush, Steeda, BBR, my idea for an updated GT-350R, and Cervini without the lower fog lights.

Understand that except for the Roush (original photo), the angles are not quite right so these won't look exactly like reality.

I really wish you guys would stop posting these pics......I'm starting to love that Roush front end with the photoshop'd fog delete in the grill. And it's bad news for the bank account when these things happen. So stop........please [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

Yes. Thanks to Justin & AFBLUE, I have been going crazy trying to get someone to make a fogless/ponyless OEM style grille and then get a Roush front end. (it still amazes me how much better that thing looks without the Roush chin spoiler)

So does anyone make a "blank" billet grille for the GT?

As for the Roush vs Steeda, there's no question which looks better. That Steeda just retains too much of the stock bumper and the rest doesn't blend well.

Oh and here's the pic AFBlue made a while back that he mentioned above.
AFBLUE: How about a photochop of this car with the same stripes and scoop as above, but lighten the "paint" to make white. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

I won't have access to my photoshop software until Friday. I will try to remember to do it for you.

Hey can I request center mounted light kit? Debating this look, and this would give me a yay or nay.

Thanks

Original chop by AFBLUE.
Night chop by me. (assuming you rewire the fogs so they all come on at once)

Justin, your car is just so much to play with. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] Thanks!

That is exactly what I was looking for. I also am thinking about powdercoating the grille black. Whose grille is that, Cervini?

The grille on the white car does not exist. It just my photoshop. Stangnut is willing to sell body parts if some one would make one like that.

I'm thinking a Shelby GT-H Grille with a Roush hood scoop should do the trick for me.

OBTW, I like the Steeda better. I like how it tapers in at the lower corners unlike the Roush which has verticle lines on the outer edges. Gives it more of that original GT350 look

For those keeping count: 6 votes Roush, 4 votes Steeda

Sadly, he's right. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nonono.gif[/img]

However, I'm getting a shipment of 3 used GT grilles tomorrow which just MIGHT turn into the grille pictured above.

As for the blue/white photochop, It looks GREAT! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/worship.gif[/img] Thank you, AFBLUE!
But I'm not sure if that's a good thing. That's the look I've had in my head for a while now and it seems like I'll never get there.
