I find that I don't really care for the body kits that have been put out for the new stangs cuz I think they look great the way they are but I do like changing out the grill(s) in the front and I was leaning for the chrome inserts but just can't seem to picture the chrome in my mind. I like the current black look and thought that the black chrome is the way to go.....Figure this is a good question to ask everybody and see what the consensus is out there.

I've debated this forever myself. I was going to go with the T-rex billet inserts, but then they don't really match the rest of the car, and don't look very 60's or 70's. My final decision is to go with the black chrome Street Scene inserts. I saw them at Detroit last year, and liked them.

I'm just not crazy about the stock grilles, and I really want to change something on the front of the car since I've changed the side and back slightly.

Have you guys got any pix of these? I can't vote until I've seen these. Can someone post a link or two to give me an idea?

I would leave it stock or do the black chromed. (In reverse order of preference)

I like the black chrome too, to go with my black car. Almost no other chrome on the car, so why spoil it now!

Here is one picture that I have found. I think it's polished but not sure? This one is by street scene.

I'd like to see the black chromed. Or a fog delete grill for the GT, I think the fogs are too big...Maybe a v6 grill with smaller rectangular fogs undeneath? I'll have to photochop it to decide.

I think flat black looks cool with center mounted fogs, same size as stock. I really don't understand the popularity of the polished silver billit grills, but each to there own.

I voted for black because it would look good on my black GT.

Here's my CDC Billet Grille's. Upper & Lower. Added the Tri-Bar. Got a long way to go before I'm done here, but "Ya gotta start somewhere".

I also think the GT fogs are too LARGE !! I went with small fogs in the grille a little farther apart...I really like the look and I get a lot of compliments on it !!

Personally I do like the looks of some of the aftermarket grilles but I prefer them in Black Powder coat.
