Mike the pic you posted your car looks great stock, granted some look good with the insert then again plenty look so sick clean. If you do it mold it in, the pics of the ones not molded in look the worse imho the edge shows too much.

I wouldn't do it on an LX the stock grill looks awesome. I would only put the grill insert on a GT.

I agree. Also, the 5.0 LX is about twice as rare as the GT (about 100 pounds lighter too, which = faster). IMHO, on a LX the Ford oval is better looking than a horse emblem.

I've seen it done and it's kinda hack. Like trying to put a square peg in an oval hole.

My favorite is actually just the LX bumper with the Ford logo and horizontal bar removed. No Cobra insert, no Running Horse.
