What grille should I buy?

Take a look at my current mods and suggest the best grille. As you can see, I gave up on the Mach1 theme (even sold the Shaker and installed an OEM hood) and I'm going for a blacked-out look, but I really love how the Cervini's billet grille looks on some black Stang's I've seen on TMS.

Everything else is blacked out, keep the theme going with the blacked-out grille!

I got my CDC blackout this past weekend and installed it, it's a nice piece for sure. It could do with another bar or two to tight it up but I really like the clean look. It installs pretty easily, the worst part is getting the stock grille out, I always seem to fight with it.

Had some issues with some scuffing under where the stock grille was though, not happy about that but I think I can buff/polish it out. Not the CDC's fault of course. I'll be posting pictures soon, just haven't had a chance yet.

I personally voted for the CDC black billet, but I would probably go with what you saw and liked originally. I mean, once I get an idea or see something, nothing else seems to come close.

I just recieved my CDC Black grille in the mail and will hopefully be installing it tonight. I will post pics for you once I get it in...maybe that will help your decision.

Here's mine, sorry for the delay as well, I was rebuilding my system at home this week. Definitely need a chin spoiler to finish the look I think!







Keep in mind the flash does exagerate the stuff behind, in person it's nowhere near as noticable, especially when you're looking at it from a normal standing position.

as another option(and almost free) I copied off another guy in here- and got the 'truck sized' push on chrome door edge and put it around the original grille. kinda tight getting it in, but like a 10 dollar mod that gives some needed contrast...and if you dont like it, peel it back off- just be careful not to scuff paint- its a snug fit, clean around grille real well before starting

will try to find a pic later if interested at all...
