Not really a fan of it. Looks like a gaping mouth. Needs a pony or something to finish it off.

I think it looks good on a 93 Cobra but not on a GT or LX.

If you are trying to go back to stock why cut the grill? This isn't something like rims or a spoiler that can be changed back.

I can't decide either. Grill is ready to go, but since i can't undo this mod I just don;t know if i should.

Either way looks good

Looking at those pics it's starting to grow on me. I've never cared for the fact that it's an insert but it's subtle enough that most won't notice.

because it's subtle.

It doesn't stand out much like a hood, or saleen wing, or GFX kit. It's small and could possibly look OEM.


But yes, i have to cut the bumper and cant undo it. That's why i have had this insert for over a year painted and ready to go and have not installed it yet. Need to make sure years from now i won't regret it.

I'm going to have to say I prefer the stock look better than the insert after looking at the pictures once again.
