I may be a bit biased, but I say keep your current grill. It's different. Few people have the webelectric piece, but many have billet grills. Coming from someone who has one of each, I say keep the corral and bezels.

Get the moss ones, more vanes and hides more of whats behind there(especially on black). The CDC is nice but definitely leans towards a modern-styling theme.

I still think the V6 pony grille would be the best for your car.

I agree about the MOSS, but I will keep my corral and trim rings as well.

Have you considered the black CDC grille? I have it on my ride and I think it ties in nicely with the black wheels.

Since I have chrome accents around the car, I am leaning towards the billet. As for going with the Moss one, I like the spacing on the CDC more, plus my brother is going to fabricate FOG light mounts behind it so that I can still have my fogs :-)

Yes, the V6 Pony grille would work good, but honestly, I'm leaning for a more aggressive look now. I want to go with the Saleen Heritage front facia as well. I think that combination will be just the look I want.

thanks

The saleen heritage/PJ facia looks identical to the lower part of a shelby bumper. With the cost of the saleen one and the grille you may want to pony up for a gt500 nose

Cdc

Here is my CDC billet grille. For me it looks ok. Not so conservative/aggressive. Just right.

Major props on the red walls on the tires! Great tie-in!! I'm also biased. I like Cervini's billet grille

The Moss one is also cheaper the the CDC one!

Opinion - Redline tires give you a retro look. If you want to keep the retro, but make the car look tougher, look to adding a tough retro hood. Leave your grille alone as it ties in well. $.02

Go CDC......and would love to see the fogs mounted behind the grill. That's one of the reasons why I haven't done this mod yet as I'm not ready to loose my fogs.

I say keep it the way it is, don't know why but your car just looks better the way it is. Maybe a custom airbrushed pony will help change it up for you, thats what I am doing.

Both look good. But if I had to choose between them, I'd have to go with the pony grill insert and keep it the way it is. Thats a beautiful car, btw
(now you've inspired me to purchase one as well!)

Edit: Now I see why there aren't many people with the pony grill insert....not being made anymore
