New Grille?

I Have No Life
I'd personally like to see the crosshatch egg crate style that doug had in his photoshop...
Like on the GTR-44 but only deeper (like the 05s production grille)

i'd be down with it. I think they could pull it off, and if they did pull it off, it'd probably do a lot for sales of the other ford cars. Like, as it is, a lot of people like the mustang, but there isn't much tying it to the rest of the ford line up. If the mustang had a 3 bar grill... and then somebody sees this full size sedan called the 500 with a mustang grill on it, that sedan would look pretty cool thanks to the mustang association.
here's a chop from that thread done by grr428

i still think they could make it look cool. While that's a very good chop, i think ford could work it a bit and make it look really good. But ya... i understand where y'all are coming from.

NO. Please don't ever put a three bar grill on the Mustang. Sales would drop. Compare the 'new' Challenger with the 'new' Camaro. Retro dones correctly works well. I don't see any of the 60 Camaros in the new style.

actually, i saw a poll on autoblog i think it was, where the camaro was significantly ahead of the challenger.
I don't think the mustang needs the grill to get recognized, obviously everybody would recognize it as a mustang regardless of whether it has chrome bars in the grill. I just think that if they could pull it off somehow, slip that grill in there subtly, then the rest of ford's line would benefit from a stronger affiliation with the mustang.
What if it was black chrome??!

I found these pics, but I can't remember where, I don't think that it would look too bad at all.

that's from the thread i started a couple months ago, and the chops are from grrr428. They're great chops, but i think ford could make it look a lot better than that. Especially if the thing's got hips!

A three bar grille belongs on a Mustang about as much as a moustache and beard belong on Angelina Jolie.

she would still be hot.............i would just have to bring along my gillette! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]
but i dont think the 3 bar grill fits on the 05+ mustang. that would have to redo the entire front to get it to fit. and then it wouldnt look like a mustang
