I think the CDC one would be the perfect choice for PSH.

The weather has been crappy since, so the only pic I have so far is taken with my phone, but you get the idea:
Better pics (somewhat) of the SSE grille insert w/ foglight covers taken today:

I was hoping someone could give me an idea of how they mounted the smaller foglights? Just curious how labor intensive the process would be?

Looks as bad as the first grille SSE came out with. You know, the one made out of cheap, scrapyard, expanded metal.

Even Ford's new one leaves a lot to be desired, with its honeycomb holes so big that you'll be scraping cats and dogs off your radiator...

I'm thinking they're the original size, but there's no way to know for sure until I get my hands on one.

The picture of the white Ford SEMA shows a grille with holes the same size as on the GT grille. This was already discussed earlier.

Why is it so hard for the aftermarket companies to make a GT honeycomb grille that keeps the foglights but removes the pony?

I know Agent47 has one, but I want the OEM look...

You would think someone would at least make a small adapter/filler piece that lets you use the V6 grille

A few pages back you had pictures of an FR500 and sounded like someone said its a V6 grill. It is a GT500 front end with the stock hood that has vents on top. That article in Road and Track with its photos really convinced me to do the front keeping my original hood.

These pics are from the '08 accessories catalog.
One step closer to the blank grille.

Looks to me like it does. However, here's a pic from SEMA and there wasn't any chrome on that one.

And, yes. That's supposed to be the Bullitt grille.

BTW, here's the catalog:

Just chiming in. I would love a blank OEM style grill, however I would want this if only there was a option for smaller fogs in the lower fascia, even if it was exclusive to the GT/CS fascia. I know Shelby is working on one, but I havent heard anything in a while and it seems to be a little pricey. If someone made a blank OEM grill with lower fog light kit I would snap it up in a jiffy.
