I used a metal 65 style tri-bar pony in my grille and used two sided automotive tape to attach to my KSR grille in May. When I switched to my Street Scene grille a couple of weeks or so ago I used the same tri-bar and the same tape . To date it is still stuck like crazy.

Hey gang, if anyone is like me, you need a visual to understand things 
So here's a comparison of the 3 different tri-bar pony's discussed in this thread:
In order of appearance: 94-98 fender tri-bar, 06+ Pony package (yes I know the car is filthy
), and the metal 64-66 tri-bar.

Well I used the Scott Drake metal 3.75 inch one and I am happy. I'm thinking about taking a dremel tool and grinding down the area where the pony rests on the grille so it will be flush but haven't had the time. I think the pony would look great embedded in the grille rather than sticking to the outside.

I like that "embedded" idea. 
As for which one to use, it's a toss up between the 64-66 & the 94-98. My first choice would be the 94-98, but it might be too small.
Thanks for the pics, Dave.

No sweat mates! You don't realize how large the Pony package tri-bar is until you compare it to the other 2. IMO the 64-66 is like baby bear's porridge - "just right"

The Pony package one looked way too big on GRYPNY's SS grille, but I think the 94-98 would be a close second.
MTAS's pictures are awesome, I really like the tape measure. Here's a pic of a 64-66 and a Pony Package emblem side by side. The blue stuff is of course the peal off plastic for the adhesive backing. The 64-66, you need your own doulbe sided tape.

I agree. And, being the owner of a 65 Fastback for 16 years, I know the 64-66 is kind of big to begin with. That's why the '06 emblem looks HUGE to me. I think Ford really over did it on that one.

OK - quick question for you guys who have installed yours - the factory grille used the #25 torx screws to hold the fogs in. The SS grille comes with the phillips head screws that I assume are to hold the fogs in. Is that the case? My directions clearly state "Install the black plastic sleeve onto the torx head screw over the top inner mount on the lamp." Also, does this mean that the black plastic sleeve is like a washer, going between the screw head and the fog lamp mounting ear? My feeble mind says it should be used as a spacer between the grille shell and the foglight mounting ear. Thanks for clarifying!!

The directions read like it's a washer between the screw and foglight, but when I was tightening mine down, the foglights were having to bend in to make contact with the screen, so use it as a spacer between the screen and foglamp. When tightening down the screws, you'll see this works best.

For me, using it as a spacer on the same corner would've made it worse.

The spacers are provided because the factory screws are just a hair too long with the new grille. As mentioned above, if you dont use the spacers/washers and you use the factory screws, the tip of the screw will start to "poke through" the front of the grille shell when tightened. Its not going to go all the way through, but it will cause a stress mark on the shell causing it to turn white in front of the grille. Place the spacers/washers on the screw head prior to screwing the lights in.

Heads up for anyone looking for one of these grills. Stillen has them on sale right now for $149 with free shipping (still have to pay $10 for insurance and oversized package). This is the best deal on the net as far as I can tell. It’s going to be delivered Thursday; I’ll post up some pics once installed with some unique badging I am planning!
