Arrow Should I do a BILLET Grill or Keep Stock? What GRILL IS BEST? ========

Hi Guys I have been thinking for sometime about getting a Billet ft. Grill take a look
at my car and let me know if you guys think it would look better with one or to keep
the GT Grill?

If you guys think to get a grill who makes the best out there? Maybe with a clear coat so
it looks good all the time?

Lowers grill as well? or keep lower stock and do only the top Billet?

Thanks.

I am not a fan of the blingy billet grilles. If you want a billett grille dont buy an overlay grille as they are very cheesy looking. So my vote is for keeping the stock grille.

Stock and original would be my choice. Better resale value later too.

I like stock as well, but if I were to change, it would be the 3d Carbon w/center fogs. No billitt bling.

+1, say no to BLING grills! A black billet might be sweet, though.

Your car is looking fine! It looks good without looking like it's overdone. Don't do much else to it. I am not a fan of any of the aftermarket grilles but I do like the production Bullitt grille and the one featured on the new Mustang Warrior's In Pink edition. You could go bright or black with the latter...





With either of these grilles, you could add an offset pony emblem in it just like the ones on your fenders!

Ya know if I had run up on a Grabber Orange Mustang the day I was looking I may have taken up with one myself! White and Orange was on the top of my list!

I say change it but then again I am still confused as to why you post shots of all angles of your car when asking about a grille.

I just installed the CDC Black Billet grille this past weekend, and it looks great. I haven't been able to take pictures of it yet to post, but I really like it compared to the stock grille.

That sir is the most disgusting bling overlay grille I have seen. That is what I am talking about that looks cheesy. "Pay no attention to the grille behind the grille??" No wonder they are out of business.

Here is a look at my cheesy grille. More cheese please! The grille is stainless steel (from APS) not factory plastic. Painted Pony is from SSInserts.

I like the Pony emblem and the fogs in their stock location but I do not like the egg
crate grille, so I went with a black billet upper and lower overlay.
