Different style Foxbody Cowl Grills(Pics and Quality)

[bditty50]

I was wondering what kind of cowl Grills people are using and how they look on the car. My cowl when I bought my car had a big ugly fuel pressure gauge poking out of it so I need to replace it.

I was wondering how those different style grills look on the car. I know there are alot of different styles now and I'd like to see how they look on the car. Cowls like the dual opening one, gauge cowls, smooth cowls, etc. Maybe someone has completely filled the cowl just by welding it. I'd like to see some new things to help me decide what to do if I want a factory cowl or something different.

i bet somebody would trade you the cowl with the guage holder in it for a good stocker..those gauge cowls are a bit of $$ these days..just not many people buy em for the above reason

I'm not saying I want a gauge cowl I dont really like them I think they are alittle redneck for my taste. Plus I've heard from a few people that they have gotten their gauges stollen. I'd just like to see some different styles on the foxbodies before I make the chose. I think it will probably be a stock one though.

not really a tech section thread...but the fiberglass cowl I run...

I like the factory look but i also like the gauge cowl. Never thought of the theft aspect before though. I was planning on getting one for my car.

i want a dual gauge one...but i have a stocker now

DMAN302 I kinda like that grill I've been back and forth on it because I really like a factory cowl thats painted to match. Where did you purchase that one from?

Hey dman,
I had seen those things around but never a real good pic on a car all painted up. That looks good..Thumbs up! I was considering a cowl with the gauge pods too but like mentioned, I hadnt considered getting my gauges jacked. Anyone been able to check out the cowl with the 3 pods that has the 2 5/8 in the center? Supposedly its angled a bit lower so its easier to see. THe pics I have seen so far really dont give a feel of how they are to see while driving. I wonder how they would look painted body color instead of the low gloss black? Wonder how it would look color matched on an ox white stang?

I bought this one from 50resto.com and it holds two 2 5/8 gauges.

Same as DMan. To me, it only looks good on a car that's got some body modifications. On a stocker, it's way out of place.

Were you at BP tonight by the Altamonte mall getting gas? If so i was pumping xnext to you.. Sorry for the Highjack.

Mansonozz I agree it looks good on a modified car with a hood. I'm thinking about getting it now. With a stock fiberglass or just stock hood it would look way out of place. I like it though Dman. Theres some companies on ebay that are selling different style ones that are like Dmans just alittle more square.

Thanks for the good words..the only difference between Dave's and my pc is the screen color. Good luck with your choice, I like them all except the delete panel.

I like the gauge pod grill, and i've seen some that are just smooth and block off the pan completely for use with cowl hoods.

I am presently making one. We'll see how it turns out. I think something flat to match my cowl will look nice.

I was going to make a template and then get a sheet of aluminum or maybe just thick sheetmetal and make my own with a jigsaw and then smooth it all out and paint it. The part i couldn't get right was for the wipers to come through.
