I agree w/ you Keoni, but even if they don't come out w/ something I will make a similar setup to the H&R vehicle on this thread, above.

I will keep watch to see how it goes. Would love to blank out the grill and put some fogs down low. If I have to I will keep my centers, but I like the idea of fogs being a little more "under cover" Simple is better IMO.

Yeah the H&R setup but w/ a blank honeycomb grille is ideal to me...

I upped the brightness on the image of the "Bullitt" grill. Not what I want either. Looks like the side areas (where the fogs would be now) are solid plastic behind the honeycomb. Not open like the one shown at SEMA.

I know I am being picking with comments like this but if that grill comes out with the chrome trim I am going to be ticked off!!! I want it to be all black. Although as the saying goes, beggers can't be choosers...

The "closed off" honeycombs have to be there to restrict airflow since the lights aren't there anymore. The V6 grille is the same way.

As for the chrome trim, yes, it's there, but it's supposed to be satin as oppossed to shiny. I'll be painting mine black.

I guess if that is what I have to do; then that is what I am going to do... This is better than the alternative.

On the way home from work last night (Detroit) we saw a torch red spoiler delete coupe with a parchment interior, black bullitts, a blank grill that looked like the one pictured in the accessory catalog.The car had Manufacture Plates.
The grill had a satin surround. It appeared to be a piece of metal trim about a ½ or so wide.
IMHO the grill looked very good. We could not see anything behind the grill, unlike the grill on the white vert in the SEMA photo's.
The car had large tipped exhaust but the mufflers were oval as opposed to round like the stingers. The tips did not appear to be the same as on the GTA's or those included with the appearance package.
The rear faux cap was tapped over. Photo's of this car have been posted on the Mustang Source in the past.

Were they oval like the ones on the PJ Saleen?

I would describe the trim as satin, about 1/2" - 3/4" wide, round edges, flat on the top. But this was trying to get a view while driving alongside the car down an expressway. So I may be somewhat off in both the appearance and the dimensions.

We are going to Mustang Alley at The Woodward Dream Cruise on 08/18.
I am hoping that the car we saw or another with the grill will be there.

I really want to get this grill.

Those new pics from the catalog look promising, but it starts looking a little 'waffley' with all that honeycomb. After I put the moss blank grille in, I forgot all about the plastic one.
